As you enter notes, the measure (bar?) will resize to fit them, spacing the measures out. If you want to force this earlier, drop a line break (under Breaks and Spacer pallete, the green icon with the arrow) on the end of measure 4 or 5. Or you could run the "Break Every X Measures" plugin to force X measures per line.

Also, FWIW, you don't really need the toolbar if you know the keyboard shortcuts, which take only minutes to learn, and entry goes faster that way, too. The note durations are keyed to the number keys, with 3 for sixteenth, 4 for eighth, 5 for quarter, 6 for half, and 7 for whole. Tie is "+", etc. You can also customize the shortcuts via Edit->Preferences->Shortcuts.

I just found where this problem can occur:

1. Open up Preferences
2. Under the Icons section there are numbers for General and Note Entry. These have likely gotten "adjusted" wrong.
3. Enter 24 and 24 under General and 24 and 30 under Note Entry to reset the values.

Alternatively, you can press the Reset To Default button, but this will reset other things.
