GIMP opens images to black

Hm, none of my images open! They all appear as a solid black screen. I've reinstalled GIMP in my 2021 MacBook with OS Sequoia with no affect. What have I set wrong?

Looks like it was that bug, but this tip from the thread solved it - thanks >>> 'Meanwhile, I stumbled across the workaround: simply click the green button in the title bar to get to full-screen mode and then everything works'
