    File Explorer Details/List view text cutting off vertically


    When text size is scaled up via Settings > Accessibility > Text Size, hanging characters in file explorer get cut off vertically. It doesn't happen with any other view, at least not at the 200% text size I'm using right now. Mostly when there's an issue with text size it's because text simply doesn't scale, rather than being cut off, and even then that's mostly in older stuff like control panel or task manager I'm on 21H2 and not in windows insider; no idea if that's been fixed in the redesigned task manager so it's a bit jarring to see file explorer have this issue specifically.Scrr

    How to export a text file that lists the different columns that can be displayed in the details view of File Explorer

    In File Explorer, with the Details view showing, you have a variety of columns of information available to you.

    Questions:

    • How can I export that list as a text file?
    • Where can I find "definitions" of what these terms mean?
    • How can I find out how the information for these terms may change?

    If I, as a user, cannot find the answers to questions 2 & 3, how can I
    competently
    use the data to my advantage?

    Line spacing in File Explorer List View

    It seems like something changed in the past day or two to add line spacing when in List View in Explorer. Not sure if it's quite double-spacing, but there definitely is more vertical space between items now.

    Any idea how to reset that to the previous single-spacing?

    Here's what I see now:
