pulled that repo and it looks fine to me. That dialog is resizable, if you resize it does it still appear all black ?
Created attachment 152814 [details] Screenshot of resized window This is from my own build. The contents start peeking out behind the blackness. If I make it maximum size, I can easily see all the contents.
I did reproduce it in 6.3 rc2 version.

Ah, that is right, I can repro with gtk2 as well! I wonder, why I could not before (or maybe I forgot to test??)
I can reproduce in a vm
