Intellij IDEA Project view doesn't show structure as it did before.

My directory structure in the Project seems to have disappeared. The first picture is the "bad". I recently upgraded to 12.1 and the vim emulator at about the same time. I don't know if I missed a dialog that reset something? I can't figure out how to get it back like the second picture.
I've tried to re-import the project but it has not helped. I keep the project on Dropbox and have another PC where I have not reloaded project. Is there a way to get my view from that machine?

Bad

The picture is the "good" and how I want it to look.
