metadata for selected photos going blank

here is the correct window in Bridge 2024.    MAC OS Ventura 13.6.1

then i clicked on another keyword from the right keyword panel and all keywords in the middle panel went blank

i quit Brdige and reopened  same problem. Restarted computer, same problem. Same problem occurs in all of my workspaces.

I can't go though refresh, reselect, select one keyword and go through all that over and over.
