missing text in system / empty authentication windows

Since a few hours I run into some really strange problems, when I try to change settings in System Preferences or sign up for a new entry in my iCloud Keychain, where I have to enter my user name and computer password. The text is completely missing.

Look at the pictures down below.



What could I do to fix this?

Did you reboot?

 

[HennoeR]

Yes, i did, but no difference

Boot into safe mode (-x flag) and the problem should not be there. Then reboot normally and it *might* be fixed.

I used the -x boot flag for safe mode and (as expected) the issue did not appear. But the following normal boot resulted in the same problem ):

I have a feeling I know what your issue is here. Have you configured your network options yet ?
