DIsplay width has changed - how do I get it back?

more options

I was on this site http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ when I dropped something on the keyboard around the r.h. shift/control/arrow keys and the display width changed to about half the screen width (see attached screenshot). I've tried pressing random keys but can't get it back to the original (sorry - no screen shot!). Other sites are OK, so it's something specific to the site. I tried deleting cookies from the site, but it didn't change anything.

Anyone here know how to get my full-width back?

Right first time! Thanks a lot Sashoto.

It can't have been Ctrl by itself - I just tried that and nothing changed. But I'm back to where I want to be. :-)> I'll be more careful next time which keys I drop things on.

Most probably you have pressed Ctrl - which is used for zoom. Press "Ctrl 0" to get back to your real view.
