Duplicate date modified column

Hi I'm running OS X 10.5.8 and all of a sudden I'm seeing duplicate date modified columns when I open the attach pop up in Mail version 3.6.

I've run permissions, I've tried a disk utility called mainmenu, but no luck it's still got the two columns. It's only happening in mail.

Any ideas help would be appreciated - thanks.
 
I have the same issue with Mac Mail (v3.8 on Mac OSX 10.5.8) When I attach a file I am now seeing 3 Date Modified columns along with the file name column. I haven't updated any OS, etc. This anomoly appeared several weeks ago. I deleted the mail cache file with no change. Any suggestiosn would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
Yes. I can adjust the width of the column headings (there are now 3 "date modified" and 1 "file name" headings) but I can't delete them. dragging the column width only goes so far. there become narrower, but they remain.
 
Also, I see the triplicate "date modified" column heads when I attach a file to an outgoing email. The headings are to my liking in the in box.
 
What happens if you right-click on the columns themselves (to bring up a contextual menu with a column list selector), then unchecking "Date modified" and rechecking "Date modified?"
 
I'm on a Mac, so there's no right-click, but if I click and hold the control or the command or the option button all that does is reverse the order of items (newest to oldest, oldest to newest.
 
Control-click the column headings works on my machine, but maybe that's because I'm on Snow Leopard... it should work in Leopard as well!
 
It works on the mail window (inbox) but i have the multiple heads when I have a single email open and i open the "attach file" window. Thats where this appears. See my link in a previous post.
 
On my Snow Leopard system, right-clicking (or control-clicking) the column headers in the "attach file" window works as well.

Perhaps it's because you're on Leopard that it's not working in that dialog. I don't have a Leopard system to test with, unfortunately.

What happens if you switch from column view to icon view and back, or some similar action?
 
tried that! it comes back the same way– with the multiple date column. Whats weird is that this just occurred recently. It was never like this, but I have no Idea what caused it. I appreciate your help anyway. If you think of something, let me know. I'll keep searching...
 
The only other thing I can think of is... have you installed any haxies and/or interface modifications? Maybe Default Folder X or any other Finder add-on that enhances the Finder experience?
