Similar issues only similar on the surface. This is quite different.

I wonder if this might have been a faulty upgrade 🤔 Can you please disable that [ ] All available checkbox and re-enable it? Thinking that might fix it. /needinfo

[NemanSyed]

Yup, that's all it was - thank you for such a simple fix!

I have no slightest idea what you're talking about. What "[ ] All available checkbox"? In any case, I have the same problem. Just downloaded the latest version from GitHub. The same think. 4-5 choices for letters like e, i, c, etc.
