So, this happens only from time to time and there are no clear steps to reproduce the issue? Where did you get your Tor Browser from? This is the en-US bundle? On which Windows version are you?

No idea what would cause this, but there's a more complete image here:

It looks like the onboarding UI is not only reversed but duplicated.

I wonder whether https://blog.torproject.org/comment/279413#comment-279413 is the same underlying issue (with text, though).

Workaround:
- download Tor Browser via affected Tor Browser (downloading works correctly).
- export all your bookmarks to a file.
- copy your torrc file (and all other modified files)
- Use Shift+Del on folder containing Tor Browser Bundle
- Install downloaded current version of Tor Browser
- restore torrc
- start Tor Browser
- import bookmarks.
It should help you. The "update Tor Browser" option is affected. Part of files are damaged / not changed after "updating" via "update" function.

It happens until reinstall the Tor Browser with delete of all files from TorBrowser directory. Defect of TB-update.

#29248 is a duplicate.

Hm, I wonder whether the D3DCOMPILER_DLL issue in #28874 is actually the root cause here as well...
Look at the image above the words "Explore. Privately"
