Topic "How do disable bottom filter box" a message from niagarasystems

I'm using the classic UI so not sure if it's an issue with regular UI, but when you click on the application the focus is often on the filter box of Remote Desktop Manager so while on a support call I often type into that box, realize I'm typing into nothing (but i'm not really) and then I've cleared out all my remote desktop connects so now I'm frustrated...

Then a few seconds goes by and I realize the program defaults to filter box focus rather than your typical nowhere focus and I'm inefficiently filtering out my connections.

Is there any way to disable this annoying box? I never use it and it's really crippling my efficiency.

Thanks in advance!
