By default, Helm occupies the whole screen size below when Helm is invoked. 

You could change this behaviour with
(setq helm-split-window-in-side-p 'nil).

I remember from another configuration, that Helm could be altered, to use the whole window.

If I'm right, for example, I have two windows, vertically splitted, with Buffer A in window A, and Buffer B in window B. 
I'm currently in window/buffer B. Then I call Helm, and Helm uses the whole window space of window A, and when I press RET, I get switched to another buffer in window B.

I couldn't find any related setting/function to this behaviour in Helm Wiki. So can anyone recognize this behaviour?

I added a gif as example what I mean, when opening the Helm, it opens in the other window. Note the red block cursor, this indicates the current active window, next to the grey mode line. (brown mode line means that the window is inactive.



I was not able to reproduce this behaviour. Anyone know which setting/function this is? 

Thanks in advance.
