paulchwd, Do the following:

If you have the view set to show Thumbnails do the following:
Open the folder to see the thumbnails.
Hold the Shift key down and click on the View button and select Details.
Remove your finger from the Shift key. You now see file/folder names.
Hold the Shift key down and click on the View button and select Thumbnails.
You will now see thumbnails with file/folder names under them.

Yes, it was just probably a glitch or maybe someone accidently hit the shift key while trying to change the view. It's nothing to worry about. Thanks for posting back.
