single pane view problem vs. dual pane

[xyply]

I always work in detailed dual horizontal pane view.
I work in the file and folder area on the right side and I have the navigation buttons switched on.
Everything is nicely placed i. e. the navigation buttons and the current path are located directly on top of the file and folder list.
When I occasionally switch to single pane view though the navigation and the current path move to the left above the folder tree which I regard as an misplacement as it is not as ergonomic as the dual pane scheme.
Is it possible to change the alignment in single pane view?

Menu - Window - Arrangement - Wide Tabs. Turn that off. Better?

Thanks for the quick and sophisticated answer.
That is exactly what I was looking for.
