The top bar is likely a Panel. Layout and contents are very 
configurable. Right-click on it, choose Panel / Panel Preferences ..., 
then choose the Items tab. You can then examine every item in the panel.

One thing to watch out for are Separator items, which have an Expand 
checkbox. These are the main thing I use to change layout. They are 
invisible and you can also right-click on them directly. Expanded 
Separator items in a panel share any unallocated space. Quite flexible, 
but if you are not aware of the Expand checkbox and accidentally change 
it, the layout will be quite different.

If you add a Separator with Expand checked between the items you want on 
the right and the items you want on the left, you will likely get the 
layout you had previously.

Kind regards,
