Can I control the length of my alerts list on the new tab page?

Suddenly upon rightclicking on the Alerts icon tool and choosing New Tab, I find a long list of alerts messages including from yesterday; even though there were only "2" alerts indicated as new. Not really so bad, but can we control this so it is back the way it was, to show only the new alerts which we/ I have not yet checked or read?

Even left clicking I have always seen the full list, with the unread ones in bold. What OS and Browser are you using? You didn't see the full list before?

EDIT -- I guess the unread ones aren't in bold, they are just at the top of the list.

Go to that alerts page. There are two buttons at the top labelled "All" and "Unread". Try clicking the "Unread" one.

Presentation seems to have gone back to the regular way; at least for now. I took no other actions.

OK now I am seeing what you meant. That may help. Maybe those controls malfunctioned temporarily.
I use most of the time Google Chrome.

I started playing with those a little bit. They are nice. I will have to remember this in the future.
