InDesign recent files on home screen text all jumbled

Hello,

 

When I open Indesign (not an actual indesign document, but just the program), there is a screen which shows me all my recent files. The file names are all jumbled and I can't read them. It would be useful to be able to read the text because I need to reference file names so the thumbnail isn't very useful. Screenshot attached.

 

Does anybody know how to help?
