Problem:
Footprint Library Browser button doesn’t appear and the text is gone
if I resize the window, the button appears but the text is not really readable.
Is there a way to fix this?

Did you click on the books (the three stripes) at the end of the column with the description?

the 3 books are not there, I have to resize the window everytime, before the 3 books appear.
I found a screenrecording with the same issue

Click on anywhere on the footprint line in the Value (Wert) column and the books should appear.

there is no problem with Windows or Manjaro
but if you look at my screenrecording, I just made,
you can see its only working if I resize the window

Has this problem just happened or has it always been so?

I use this version on Mint Cinnamon 20.4 and have never had a problem.
The only difference is I use the English version.

every thing the same
I changed all language settings to USA (Linux mint) and kicad to english.
Still the same problem on two different PCs (new AMD 5600G and an old intel xeon)
we just switched from windows to linux mint
there was no problem with windows or with manjaro (VM)

it seems to be a problem with the linux mint theme
opened 01:52AM - 15 Jul 22 UTC
GTK
On wxGTK, if there's a dialog with an editable wxGrid inside a wxNotebook, somet… imes the grid cell editor do not appear when clicked on. The cell becomes white, but values can still be typed.
If the dialog window is resized, or an obscure sequence of actions happen, the cell editors re-appear.
This is a [long-standing issue in KiCad](https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/5690) (Although it's closed after many workarounds applied, [the bug is still happening](https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/12011)).

Here's a wxPython script that reproduces the problem with about 50% chance for me:
[grid-cell-editor-bug.py.txt](https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/files/9117452/grid-cell-editor-bug.py.txt) / [gist](https://gist.github.com/dsa-t/6768c9091eb49608a022dbdbabc038e6)
Here's a video with Linux Mint 20.3, wxPython 4.2.0a1, XFCE, Mint-Y-Aqua theme.
Notice that when the mouse is hovered over a different wxNotebook tab, then over the buttons at the bottom, the bug resolves until the dialog is re-opened.
