If you want to collapse them all down to a single bar again hit the right Alt key on your keyboard.
As for powers on auto-fire. I normally hide them on Tray 4. This way if there's any problems with Trays 1-3 (like with me, zoning occasionally locks the Alt key down so powers in Tray 1 (attacks) don't fire and I accidentally wind up turning off armors (Tray 2).
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Are you alt-tabbing out of the program while zoning, or doing any other activity that involves the alt, control, or the shift keys? Sometimes when you Alt-tab out of the game, the game still thinks you are holding alt when you click back to it. That can result in many "Alt+" functions happening, like the powertray expanding, alternate power trays activating with 1,2,3.. instead of the primary tray, etc.|

Tapping such keys again should reset their "state" and the game will react normally again.

Unless you mean that actually creating another auto-power does not work, then that's explained by the game thinking you are pressing alt+control+rButton instead of just control+rButton. Again, tapping the alt key again should reset it so that other commands react normally.
had the problems with the trays again and alt did not fix them. it will only collapse to two trays, not one... if I hit alt it expands it to three, hit it again it shrinks to two, hit it again expands to three, etc... sometimes zoning will correct it (or cause it)
as for the the power Im setting on auto, it is not a targeted power, but Active Defense from the shield def set
I'm pretty sure these are related
