How do I change the arrangement of tools at the top of my display?

Audacity menus 2 .jpg
As you can see in the picture, the objects are all crammed to the left side and makes for a lot of wasted space to the right.
This seems to be a recent change.
How do I fix this?

Reset toolbars … View Menu: Toolbars - Audacity Manual
or grab & drag them to where you want them …
Customizing Toolbar Layout - Audacity Manual

Interesting, I thought I tried that.

Nope, tried to move them on two computers. Is there a lock somewhere?

There is a configuration file “audacity.cfg” which should save your toolbar preferences, so they persist.

If you rename***** that file to, say, “audacity-old.cfg”, then restart Audacity that could solve your problem.

This is where the audcaity config file usually resides …

C:\Users\YourNameHere\AppData\Roaming\audacity\audacity.cfg

[ ***** renaming, rather than deleting gives you the option of going back.
“audacity.cfg” contains other preferences ].
