Why do my files open with what looks like split screens?

I have to move the bars at the sides and bottom to see what’s on the file.

Unfortunately, I do not have good binoculars to look at your screen. So I can first just make a guess:

Presumably you put on “view book”. The setting can be made at the bottom of the status bar. Click on “View Single Page” and it should work again.

Clicking on the pages icons selects 1-page view or two variants of 2-page side-by-side view (raw or book).

The slider acts on the zoom factor.
