Lost Comments from Edit metadata page

I was editing downloaded comments on the Edit Metadata page when something happened and the screen closed. Now when I open it the layout has changed and the Comments section is not there.

I've looked though the Preferences option but can't see anything that appears to set what is displayed on the main Edit Metadata page.

How do I get the comments to display again?

Check this setting:

And make sure you are looking at the appropriate Tab panel in the MDE screen

For me it's in the Basic metadata panel

My guess is that the comments panel has been closed by pulling down the slider (dots on the panel border). Reopen it by pulling the slider up.

Thanks. It seems something weird is going on. I don't see the screen you have
If I use Custom or Show on 1 Tab then the comments do appear on the Edit Metadata screen but when I select the Default option as it was previously the Comments aren't there so it looks is if the Default is corrupted perhaps?

Sorted!
I had inadvertently reduced the size of the Comments box such that it disappeared. Now restored to normal
Thanks for the help.
