Has the Win11 Search Icon Direction Changed?
I just installed Windows 11 Build 21996 in a virtual machine and noticed that the direction of the search icon on the taskbar is the opposite of what it used to be. Is this a normal design change, or is it a display issue?

Windows 11 Build 21996 is one of the early preview versions in 2021. Microsoft is testing the redesigned taskbar and Start menu. Some interface elements, including the location, style and alignment of the search icon, are different from those in Windows 10. The early version also contains some unfinished user interface elements that are frequently changed before the subsequent Insider version is released.
You're using Windows 11 Build 21996, which is an early leaked development version from before the official announcement in 2021.
