Mac Pages, display glitch in format sidebar

Not sure how to reproduce this "double vision" bug in Pages but this is perhaps the 3rd time I've experienced it.

Formally Quit Pages.


Click on the Desktop to focus on Finder, and then press shift+command+G to open the Go to Folder panel. Copy/paste the following to land in your local library's Caches folder.


~/Library/Caches


In icon view, look for an obvious file bearing the yellow Pages icon. Drag it to the Trash and empty the Trash. Close the Finder window. Holding the shift key, launch Pages. Has the double-image issue resolved?


If it did not go away, reboot into Safe Boot mode (by holding the shift key), and see if the double-image issue remains. Reboot normally, and try Pages again to see if the duplication persists. Status?

Thank you, my eyes are fine.

I don't think I encountered the problem prior to 10.14. Previously I remember solving it by closing and opening the sidebar, but this time that didn't work, prompting me to post. Incidentally functionality is not impaired, but the doubled graphic continues as I scroll through point sizes.


There is no 3rd party software running that I can imagine would interfere with Pages.
