Tools in Toolbox - PSE 2023 - Condensed? Misalignment?

Howdy all,

Okay, I have been using Adobe PSE for some time. I believe that I had this issue occur before but I don't remember if I did, what the solution was for getting the Toolbox to appear with all the tools, in a 2-column configuration. I must have accidentally hit a key-function / shortcut. I was working on an image and when I looked up, I was missing one column of tools. How to restore the 2-column appearance - please?

I am using a MB Air with a 13.5" diag. screen. I have been using this MB Air and Adobe PSE 2023 for about 2 years or so and I know that there were tools

in the Toolbox, along the Left-border of the Adobe PSE window, arranged from top to bottom in a 2-column configuration

I am attaching 2 images - one showing my current (bad) tools configuration, and one showing the desired (good) tools configuration.                                           

Thank you for any hints, tips, short-cuts I might use to restore my Tools into a 2-Column Configuration

@Jeff Arola - Yippeeee - Skippy _ thank you, you are a champ. I just knew it had to be something simple/easy _ unless one doesn't know where it is and then it might as well be locked behind an encrypted firewall . . . quick response, as well - you should be getting paid
