Linux & Calibre 3.46.0 - viewer starts up weird

Calibre 3.46.0 & Python 2.7.16. & Qt 5.9.6

No added plugins to Calibre

ebook-viewer starts .epub display with "crushed cover image" & blank space for Table of Commnents, Footnotes, & Bookmarks.

In order to properly display the cover image, I must:
o Display Table of Comments
o Resize Table of Comments space
o Dismiss Table of Comments [click on "X" upper-right corner of space

Exit ebook-viewer then restarts again as described above, not with a full cover image.

All other aspects of ebook-viewer appear to work as expected.

Same issue if viewer is started within Calibre or by /usr/bin/ebook-viewer script.

Calibre 3.40.1 exhibited same behavior as above.

Is there a config somewhere that governs the appearance of the ebook-viewer startup screen?

Now...my Linux distro is Slackware & my Calibre install is packaged by Alien Bob at www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds. There are no doubt other code that could be creating this problem - my versions of Qt, Python, whatever.

Would also like to know if anyone else is encountering this problem. If other Linux users are not encountering this problem, don't worry about it - problem is likely my particular setup.

Much obliged for any thoughts, tho.

Cheers, Bob
