I built a computer for my parents about 6mo ago and put Ubuntu on it. They have
found it to be eaiser to use than MS. But when ever I tell them to click on a
file they have shrunk - they say they cant find it. So today Im here and sure
enough - when you shrink a file it shrinks to the far left hand side as a very
thin slit maybe 10 pixels wide. Its to the left of the Hide/Show all button.

Any idea how to fix this?
