When Styles Inspector is opened first time in the sidebar, it's blank. Only moving cursor, or typing, makes it initialize and show the info about cursor position. It should initialize right on opening.
Opening a file is blank, but as soon as a click on the text it appears. Opening a second file happens the same. Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: <buildversion> CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 20180; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: es-ES (es_ES); UI: en-US Calc: CL
