I am running GIMP 2.6...and noticed lately that the file type chooser type box is almost useless. When you click on the type a long thin box opens and you can't see the types.

You can see what I mean here :

Can anyone suggest what's wrong ?

You could click on the edge and pull it out. I use Gimp 2.6.11 on Slackware Linux. What do you use exactly?

I tried that but couldn't enlarge the box. I'm running GIMP on Debian Sid.

Stop Gimp.
Move (or delete) /home/yourusername/.gimp-2.6/sessionrc. Restart Gimp.
Had similar problems and this solved it. Why it happens I don't know.
I'm on Gentoo Linux.

Nope, didn't work here. No change. Also renamed gtkrc to gtkrc.bak..no change...and after someone else's suggestion on the Debian list, renamed ~/.config/gtk/filechooser.ini, but it didn't help either. This happens under Gnome and other window managers. Weird.
