helm-find-file (and other things) appearing in my main split

Question

I currently have helm installed.

Sometimes when I have my window split vertically, when I run helm-find-files, it appears in one of the already open windows, rather than creating a new horizontal window at the bottom. Is there a way of ensuring that it always creates a new window?

Answer 1

Setting the following:

(setq helm-split-window-in-side-p t)

appears to resolve your issue.
