Choose Symbol dialog not showing symbols

[froggy]

When I open the Choose Symbol dialog, it tells me it has 418 symbols loaded. If I click around in the selection pane, the symbols are there and selectable and I can add them to schematics, but they do not show up in the panel so I’m basically selecting blindly. This is the the case whether or not I type anything in the (visible!) Filter bar. Does anyone know how to get the parts to show up? They used to be there, and I have no idea what happened.

Running KiCad 9.0.4. Have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.

That dialog rendering looks quite broken… Can you post your full version info please?

Update: if I drag the window to another screen, the names show up but the rendering is still wrong. Vaguely more usable, I suppose.
