Status bar moves from left to right, while using "find"?

I use the "Find" (ctrl + F) feature quite a bit, and when the "Find" tab is viewable at the bottom, the status bar information moves from the left side of the screen to the right side. This is very off-putting to me and I was wondering if there was any way that this could be fixed so that it always appears in the same spot.
