How to get Catalog on Left under Tree

I just upgraded to version 14.20 on my Windows 7 64-bit computer. To my dismay, the Catalog is now separate from the Tree and is all the way to the right. Since I have a Dual Pane arrangement, this placement of the Catalog is NOT what I want, since it shrinks the two panes unacceptably. I went into Windows-->Arrangement and saw that Tree and Catalog Stacked is already checked. That's what I want, but that's NOT what I see. When I click on Catalog first (just to see what would happen), it reverses the positions of the Tree and the Catalog, but one is still all the way on the left while the other is all the way on the right. I don't know whether this is a bug. It sure looks like one to me, but I thought I'd ask rather than simply report it as a bug. In short, I want the same arrangement I had before: Tree over Catalog on the left, and to the right of these the Dual Panes arranged horizontally (i.e., next to each other, not on top of each other). How do I accomplish this?

Thanks in advance.

These layout features are brand new additions. Don't forget to take them for a test drive! You might like the new layout(s) too.

I understand that they're new additions. But my #1 requirement for any file manager is the ability to have horizontal Dual Panes wide enough to let me see at once the basic information I want. Having the Tree on the left and the Catalog on the right made the Dual Panes much too narrow. And no, I don't want vertical Dual Panes. So I need the arrangement I had until I installed 14.20. Now, thanks to sinilill's helpful response, I have that arrangement back.

One thing I love about XYplorer is how flexible it is. It can meet a variety of different needs and preferences.
