The file-chooser window problem has been persistent for some time now.
I have been updating the snapshot roughly once a week (via `sysupgrade
-s' followed by `pkg_add -u').

The update on July 31st continued to demonstrate the file-chooser issue.

I just did a `sysupgrade -s' and `pkg_add -u' (8/8) not expecting
anything different, but noticed the file-chooser in tor-browser is now
in correct size/configuration, however, the font glyphs are displayed
as unknown glyphs (I assume that is what the rectangles represent --
see attached screen grab).

This is the `pkg_add -u' output:

Just a reminder that Stuart Henderson's post on a similar topic hinted
at a pango related cause:

https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=173689221602591&w=2

I see pango updated in `pkg_add -u' output.

I hope some of this provides some hints as to the source of the problem.

Thanks for reading,
