Before Visual Studio 2026 Insiders [11206.111], there wasn’t much spacing between items in Solution Explorer – between each item, there was little space, which made it easier to navigate.
After the aforementioned update, Solution Explorer has changed. There is a lot of vertical spacing between each item in Solution Explorer now. See the image below.
It makes navigating much harder, and it is a nightmare when working with many source files in one directory, because now, it requires lots of scrolling for simple actions.
Before that, I didn’t even have to scroll to see all files in this folder, but now, all of them don’t even fit into the Solution Explorer tool window pane of that size.
Is it possible to configure Visual Studio in a way to make the spacing between each item in Solution Explorer smaller?
