Folder pane keeps disappearing.

I want my folder pane to always be visible on the left. I have clicked View-Layout-Folder Pane a million times which brings it up, but as soon as I pass my cursor over the folder pane (from the right) it disappears. If I go back to the settings I see Folder Pane is no longer checked. How can I keep the folder pane visible no matter how I move my cursor?

Sounds like you might have an issue with a mouse, perhaps a stuck button, but I rally can not see how that would work either.

Moving over the divider pane will set the mouse to have a double left right arrow, clicking on the mouse when this occurs selects the pane for resizing and drags the pane to Zero width if you do not release the left button while dragging. This in effect set the pane to off.

All I can think of is you are accidentally clicking and holding while in that state, perhaps trying to select and email and drag it somewhere else.
