A couple of weeks ago I had a perfectly functional Inkscape-no problems.  Then, a couple of days ago I wanted to work on a new project and as soon as I selected the rectangle tool and began to draw the rectangle the entire working area of my screen went black.  I can see to tool bars and the area that has the tool controls but the page and the area around it are black.  Then I tried importing an image and wanted to put text over it.  No luck.  The text does not show up.  Handles are nowhere to be found and trying to create a bounding box doesn't work either.  I am way beyond frustrated at this point.  Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Describe the source of the file: created with Inkscape, downloaded, imported from another program, etc.
2. Describe the specific steps you took, the result you expected, and the result that actually happened.
3. Describe your OS (your computer's Operating System: Mac/Windows/Linux/etc. & version).
4. Describe if Inkscape was newly installed, or upgraded from an earlier version.
5. Describe the version of Inkscape and the installer you used (the file you downloaded from the web: .msi/.exe/.zip/appimage/other, PPA/Snap/Flatpak, dmg/other ). 
6. Describe any special hardware being used, like tablet/stylus, external drives or multiple monitors.
7. Describe any helper/assistive programs or keyboard modifiers (macros, languages, etc.).

Bonus points, if you:

• Attach* a screenshot of the issue.
• Attach* an example SVG file that has the issue.

* Posting links to outside hosts is also permitted, hotlinking (embedding) is not.
