I have been successfully using Message Filters. A week ago, when I edit the filters, only one line is showing up. It makes it difficult to go to the end of the filters or to find the filter I want. Please help so uthasti can see more than one line - preferable 5 or 6 - when I edit a filter.

Are you editing the filter by editing msgFilterRules.dat in a text editor? If so, it appears you need to apply word wrap to see separate lines. Editing filters is usually done from Tools/Message Filters and clicking Edit.

No, I am just using the toolbar. Tools - Message Filters - Edit.

I wonder if you have a broken layout. If you run in safe mode (hold Option when you launch TB, or Help/Restart with Add-ons Disabled), does the filter window look any different?
