Win10-64 TBird 141.0 64-bit everything fully upated

Yesterday T'Bird stopped displaying the message content in a pane below the messages list when I single-clicked on the message. A double-click does display the message contents in a new pop-up pane/tab, but this is quite inconvenient.

I don't know what I did to cause this, but I'd like to go back!

Does it happen in Help > Troubleshoot Mode? What version are you running?

ver. 141.0 (64-bit) Thunderbird is up to date

Troubleshooting mode did not fix the issue - same behavior

BTW, I remembered that a LOT of messages suddenly appeared in the Inbox under my email address, not in the Inbox in Local Folders, which is where they normally wind up. I have a lot of directories under the Local Folders Inbox, and these directories have subdirectories. Lots of filter rules to direct incoming mail to these folders.

I experimented & determined that deleting an email from the Inbox under my email address did not affect the same message that had been filtered to a directory, so I deleted them all.
