System Report window shows long thin column of text (10.10.3)

[garner]

Hi there,
Just upgraded to 10.10.3 and all is fine - I haven't had to run Multibeast or reinstall any drivers, everything seems to work.

Just one strange issue, though. The detail pane in System Report appears to have an invisible column break a third of the way across the window. So unless I stretch the whole window to the width of the screen, the system info appears as a long thin column of text (picture attached).

It's isn't a big deal, but does anyone know of a way to fix this?


Edit: this appears to have spontaneously resolved itself after waking the system from sleep.

Edit 2: but then closing and reopening System Report makes it a long thin column again.

Yep had the same thing on my 10.10.3 on a real mbp.. Fix it by going into your ~/Library/Preferences/ directory (i.e. the one under /Users/your_user_name/Library/Preferences), and delete the com.apple.SystemProfiler.plist file. Do this while the System Information window is closed. Then open it up again and it should be fine.

Just grab the bottom right corner of the window and drag it to resize - The text will expand to fit.

Check the "Show scrollbars" setting in System Preferences -> General.
I had "Show scrollbars" set to "Always". Switching it to "When scrolling" fixed the problem.
