The hugh width in tag browser is in both mini and maxi views but in max view at least I can see the entire program screen without endless scrolling across.

At first I thought somehow I had slipped and pulled the panel wider but if that were the case I should be able to fix it by narrowing the area to fit, right? Am I making any sense? Any help would be appreciated. p.s. I don't "speak" program language so please be gentle...
I still haven't figured out what I did to make my tag area so huge that it makes calibre eight or nine screen widths wide. I did check the length of all my tags and for excessive number of tags, I am running Vista on this machine and have installed all the updates to calibre except for last Friday's. There is no change in screen resolution.

Just to add, every time when I am in minimized when I try to pull narrow the page, it automatically bounces me to maximized size. I can still use calibre but it is awkward. Any ideas would be welcomed. (oh and I have almost 15,000 books and metadata in this library if size of library makes a difference...) Thanks in advance for any help.
