Material Browser only half there

Hi all. Is it me or is it Revit? My material browser window doesn't work. I get the list of materials but there are no material editing panels and no icon that I think is supposed to expand the window. (Screenshot attached)

 

Stretching the window doesn't help. I've tried restarting Revit, rebooting Windows, repairing, and reinstalling the program (from Control Panel). Maybe this a graphics card issue?

 

I'm running Revit LT 2018 on a 2012 Macbook Pro Retina in Windows 10 with Bootcamp. My graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M, which is not supported by Revit. 8GB memory, plenty of available disk space on a 1T internal SSD. I tried turning off graphics acceleration but didn't help. Closing all other apps doesn't help. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

 

Another thing that may or may not be related. The Big R menu is not so big... Meaning that it's only a "little r". Screenshot attached. Just a quirky thing, but since I'm new to Revit I might be missing other things that I'm not aware of.

 

Thanks for whatever guidance you might have.

 

Bill

What are the Resolution and the Display Scaling? Reduce the Display Scaling to 150% or less see if it fixes the issue.
