    Hello, we're upgrading from 11.1.7 to 11.2.4 of Cognos BI.  One peeve is that the folder names no longer appear on the left navbar, it's just icons.  The names only appear as you move the mouse over the folder icons.  We read this post, but it didn't help.  Tried to reformat the extension for the folder buttons but it did not do anything.  The code is below.  Thank you!
