I cant see anything I type in search boxes in unity editor 2019.3

We just Upgraded to the new editor , but this is pretty useless as we cant search for assets in the project or even see variables in the inspector. I updated from 2019.1 to 2019.3.0f6

this is how I see the game window


this is how I should see it

It seems to happen in my existing project, if I start a new one its all sorted
Any help would be very appreciated

bump anyone with the same problem?

i’d report as a bug then.

could test running in opengl mode also, with commandline argument: -force-glcore

have you tested updating GPU drivers (although probably no updates on those older models anymore) ?

Thank you I’ll give it a try and report back

ok I keep trying “C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2019.3.0f6\Editor\Unity.exe” -force-glcore but it will run unity hub instead, any idea what should I put in the command prompt more or less?

looks like can do that from hub, for some project:

Thank you , interestingly enough I have opened the project in my desktop pc and it has the same problem on the search boxes in the unity editor. But If I start a new project I dont get this problem. I think this maybe due to some plug in I have installed… I am going to use your suggestion now.

ok now I managed to start with command line arguments and it shows open gl , but the bug in the editor it still is there. Also the button maximize in play for example is not showing, What could be causing the editor buttons to break?

do you have some editor plugins there?
is the target platform and graphics settings the same DX11?

how can I check what editor plug ins I have, target platform at the top of the main editor window is DX11, where can I see the graphics setting you mention ? I have updated the main post with how I see the game window now compared to how it should be seen

if its working fine in empty project, check for any Editor/ folders in the problem project. (they can be inside subfolder too)

DX11 settings is in PlayerSettings, graphics api (can select DX12, and others there… but i believe DX11 is always default on windows)

excellent, I am going to start deleting editor folders until I find the guilty one using version control of course.

I went to edit->project settings->player but couldnt find graphics api,…

Ok I deleted all editor folders and the problem still is there.

i guess i am coming back to 2019.2.20…i what is needed in a script to change the editor like that,maybe override editor gui

Ok I managed to solve this problem, I had to delete a folder that I got with built in shaders that will turn the inspector pink , and restarting unity solved the editor problem .
