I had a similar query the other day which turned out to be due to a
theme having been been changed from the original (the owner knows not
how - he claims he didn't change it - Mr. Nobody again?) and which
started on a different screen. Yours may be nothing to do with that -
but it's worth looking to see if there is a default theme to which you
can revert.
