There was a question about it recently in the gitter chat.\r\nIf you add that line to your user-config, then your non-selected windows, won't be hidden while helm is open. This issue has also been fixed on the develop branch.\r\n\r\nI just found that there's a: `dotspacemacs-helm-position 'bottom` variable in `.spacemacs`\r\nsource: https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/issues/9044#issuecomment-309454459\r\n\r\nWhen I changed it to `dotspacemacs-helm-position 'right`, and restarted Emacs, then helm opens to the right of the other open windows.\r\n\r\nI seem to remember seeing helm opened below the current window, so we probably just have to find the right setting."}}
