Hi, I have somehow, inadvertently, resized my design screen and do not know how get it back to a “workable” condition. The side menu has somehow been “dragged out” and I can’t find a way to resize/ make it normal again. See image below:
I’m sure it must be simple, somehow, but I can’t find any resize handle or anything else to put it right. Please help… 😮💨

Strange! Can y[ou try a hard refresh?](https://intercom.help/thunkable/en/articles/3630719-how-to-hard-refresh-your-browser)
I have no clue how that could even happen. So if you happen to figure that part out I would love to hear about it.

Hi @jared, I just closed down and then re-signed into Thunkable and I still have the same problem. 🙄

Hi @jared, I am using a Chromebook using a Chrome Browser. Would the Windows’ fix still work?
I’m really nervous about losing my project.

Hi @jared, the Ctrl+refresh ( the circular arrow) on my Chromebook did not work. 😒

Have you tried voering your mouse over the edge till the mouse turn into that resize icon.
And then tried to resize it?

Yes @sketch, I tried that and also I found by clicking in the user interface section a blue line appeared on the edge of the menu but still no way of dragging or re-sizing it was found. See image below:
So far I have tried:
Ctrl+refresh button
Shift+refresh button
Alt+refresh button
Ctrl+double-click (also tried double-click dragging)
Ctrl+double-right-click (also tried double-click dragging)
Shift+double-click (also tried double-click dragging)
Shift+double right-click (also tried double-click dragging)
Alt+double-click (also tried double-click dragging)
Alt+double right-click (also tried double-click dragging)
Double-click and drag
Double+ right-click drag
Ctrl+drag
Shift+drag
Alt+ drag
plus every other permutation I could think of including Ctrl+Shift+R

Can you open this in a private browsing tab or in a different browser?
Is this still affecting you today?

Hi @jared, I have just tried opening an incognito tab in Chrome browser and the problem is still there.

One interesting thing I forgot to mention to @sketch and @jared in an earlier post was that when the blue line (shown previously above) appears, if I hover my mouse over the blue line, the mouse pointer changes to a pointing finger icon but still nothing happens when I try all the previously mentioned methods for attempting a hard refresh.
This problem has affected my whole project.

Thanks for the video @jared. That fixed it.
The problem was that the DVL Component title was too long. I did notice it but I thought it was an error as a result of the screen going awry. I have since figured out that I must have, somehow, accidentally “pasted” the Data Source Sheet contents into the DVL Component titling box by mistake because I had previously copy/pasted the sheet data into a new sheet. I feel silly now but greatly relieved.
**The solution was to simply rename the title of DVL Component.**
Many thanks @jared
I can stop sweating now!
