Little to no control of volume slide bar

.
The control for the microphone and speaker used to have a wide range for adjustment. Now my speaker control is extremely limited. At first I thought it was the size of the window but I have tried several settings.
.
I do not know when this changed but it would have to have been extremely recent.
Did I click somewhere to make this change?
I doubt it was in an update.

I've seen something similar occur where there are different versions of Audacity on the computer.

I was testing a special release of Audacity to see if the timer had been repaired.
It happened at the same time.
Mischief managed.....
