[Tutor] askopenfilename - columns missing in navigationwindow

Mystery of the day:  I'm using Python 2.6.  My program uses

from tkFileDialog import askopenfilename

and

fn=askopenfilename()

I use this program repeatedly.  Up to a few hours ago, the navigation window opened with a full array of columns, including name and date.

Once I mistakenly typed  control-F  (Find) instead of letters (for the file).   Now the navigation window opens with only one column, the name column.

The problem is there in my program, or in the IDLE interpreter, or in a terminal Python interpreter -- just using the two lines,  the import statement and the askopenfilename.

This is Python 2.6 on a Mac.  A complete restart of the machine did not solve the problem.

Any suggestions?
