sometimes this seems to happen when or after playing a video file.
Usually hitting escape in itunes seems to fix this. if nothing
works exiting itunes and reopening it works..

Actually after playing a video file, bring up a context menu on the
file you just played, (I believe this works on any item in the song
list) and there will be an option to close the video window. Once
you do this the lists and such should read as normal. YOu don't
need to exit out of ITunes if this is the issue.
To get back the normal iTunes lists after playing or pausing video
files of any sort, I find pressing escape works more generally than
using the context menu's "Close Video" option. There are some
instances where you can't use VO-Shift-M to bring up the context menu
(for instance, if you're paused and want to exit) where escape works.
People who have their cursors tracking -- so mouse cursor tracks
VoiceOver cursor -- can control-click to bring up the context menu in
these cases, but pressing escape is easier. Using escape also works to
take other video-playing apps (QuickTime Player, DVD Player) out of
full screen mode.
You don't need to exit out of iTunes. An alternative to escape is to
use Command-W to close the window, then bring forward the iTunes
window again (either with the Option-Command-1 shortcut or by
navigating to the Window menu on the menu bar and selecting
"iTunes"). Closing the window takes it out of video display mode.
When you bring it up again the normal sources table and songs table
listings show up.
HTH
Cheers,
