Garbled type on "Welcome to Indesign" page
InDesign 16.0.2
Not every time, but often the "Welcome to InDesign" page has garbled/overlapping labels under the thumbnails of all the recent documents as shown in the attached screenshot.
Changing the size of the application frame window moves the overlapping elements around, but they are still largely illegible. See second screenshot.
Switching to the list view and then back to thumbnails clears the problem.

I think I may have gotten this issue to clear up.
Under preferences>file handling - Saving Indesign Files
Number of Recent items to Display - Set this value to 0 then low enough to do 1 row of thumbnails
[x] Always Save Preview Images with Documents
Pages: First Page
Preview Size: SmallThis seemed to help until I opened too many. Then on the InDesign home screen to the right of recent I tried clicking the list icon then click the thumbnail icon and it seems like they don't overlap anymore.
If anything clicking one icon then the other will reset what's going on.

Seems to have a problem updating itself, new more recent files appear over top old ones. Not much of a problem because of our shared-file workflow, I almost NEVER open files using these links anyway.
EDIT 03 June 2024, this can be fixed bby switching from list to thumbnails and back or vv.
