Scrivener opens some files with big black boxes and empty drop down menus

Some of my Scrivener files are not opening correctly. Some of the boxes are blacked out and even the drop down menus are blanked out too.

Other files are opening fine, so this doesn’t seem to be a problem with Scrivener as a whole, but only with these particular files. Anyone run into this issue before?

What version of Scrivener, and with which version of Mac OS?
