Try grabbing the double line just above the eraser with the mouse and dragging it up.

Likely a bug of some sort.

It looks like it's the palette 'title' (e.g. the S of 'Simple") and a cross button to hide the palette. I know that MM added titlebars to the palettes at some point, though on my Mac, it appears slightly differently:

Of course, it could be a bug or a local OS setting or interface customization.

I think BuonTempi has identified it correctly. jose oscar, what did you do to make the palette look different? And how different does the pallette look now?

P.S. If you dock the palette, by pulling it to the right or left of the window so it fuses to the side (like the way the palettes next to it look in your screen shot), I think that title segment will disappear, along with the "x" to close the palette. Maybe that's what happened?

Thank you all,
I don't remember what I did for the palette appearing like that, neither to reverse the situation.
I couldn't help at all someone that could have the same problem in the future. Sorry!
Maybe it was a momentaneous bug
