Sound effect audio tracks appearance narrowed suddenly in a project

I cannot recover from having suddenly all the sound effect audio tracks narrow to a bare minimum, ie. no space for title. I may have clicked on some button somewhere.

All other clips and sound tracks are not affected. Trying the "Change the appearance of the clips in the Timeline" works normally. But the sound effects clips are not affected. I still can move them around, edit, etc.

Is that familiar to anyone?

Removing clips didn't help, duplicating the project didn't help, since this property inherited to the copy.

I managed to recover by deleting the project and reconstructing it from scratch, so no hurry, but... I wish to know if I did something wrong.

Oh my! Tx, Tom. This was a nasty one, IMO.

The matter is far from obvious. Ie. a tiny round blue button deep in the index/Roles pane, located in the Dialogue line. Name of the button: "Focus the Timeline on this role". I would have expected it to be on the Effects line, since it affects visibly of the Effects clips. Furthermore, clicking the blue button on the Effects line does not minimize the other Clips on the Timeline.

A matter of logic, I suppose. Still learning. Tx again

In the timeline index for Roles, the sound effects have been minimized.

Focus on this role means other roles get smaller…
