It would be difficult to advise without seeing it – can you give us the URL (in a private reply if you like) so we can advise you.

this is the footer widget area, you’ll see the other widgets are working fine.

We can’t debug images with firebug and it is difficult to provide the css needed without being able to see the website… We don’t even know what theme are using…

Ok i see what is happening here. GD gives listing titles a width of 50% and the other 50% is for the “View All” link.
The problem you have is that your theme adds a background to the “widget-title” which makes it look odd.

To make the footer widget titles full width, add this

#footer .widget-title {
     width: 100%;
}

(you may need to do a similar thing for your sidebar widgets)
then you will need to style the View All link

.geodir_list_heading a {
     text-align: left;
     width: auto;
}

You may want to add some padding or a margin, but you get the idea…

what plugin do you use to edit this easily without messing up the whole site?

You wouldn’t use a plugin to edit this, you would make the changes in your child theme’s style.css file. Don’t do it in the parent theme because it will get overridden when the theme updates.
