Thank you Kovid. You were correct as always. The problem was, as soon as I lost focus on the double arrow in order to click on Preferences the whole toolbar closed back up again so I couldn't see or click on "preferences". I used ctrl/p as you suggested and the Preferences window displayed. In Toolbars & Menus I have removed some of the icons I never use and now all is well. It's probably because my laptop screen is only 12 inches on this HP Elitebook 2570p on which I am using to learn Linux. I like this distro very much so far, and I will eventually use a computer that has a larger screen if I stay with it.
