By default pref, NaviCube shows on TopRight corner of viewport, and WarpVector bar widget (FEM WB) cannot be moved.
NaviCube and WarpVector bar widget overlay at TopRight corner in every new installed FreeCAD.
A known workgound is to move NaviCube away to the left.
But right side of viewport is more "stable" and preferable. By "stable", I mean that cannot be affected by frequent ajustment of neighboring ComboView border position. Since NaviCube is far more used than WarpVector bar, so I hope the NaviCube can stay at right, and WarpVector bar moved to left as future default position.

To prevent new conflict with other/potential widgets, a "Alighment = Left/Right" option can be added to view properties of WarpVector.

Hope some suggestions and disccusions, especially the practicalbility in coding.

great idea! Will you give it a try and implement this?

Sorry, I don't know coding.
I can only read very simple BASIC and Python.
Hope coders can help, if we reach concensus here.

You can move the navigation cube instead

either move the navigation cube or mak a bug report for a feature request on FreeCAD mantis bug tracker and add a link to this topic. May be some codr will help.

Thanks. I know NaviCube can move to TopLeft. But I prefer to keep NaviCube on the right for the reason in my op.

Thanks, just posted as feature request in tracker. issue #4315

That's a workaround op already mentioned but it truly is a bad default behavior, anyone know where this is in the code? maybe its a small change to at least move it to the left.

Echoing @adrianinsaval where in the code is this located? That might give a dev a foothold in to solving this issue.
