Ok - next thing I'd try:


Try restarting your mac in safe mode and then trying.

Then restart normally, and try again.


Safe mode will clear temporary files and caches, and sometimes fixes odd glitches such as this.

iPhoto doesn't come with macs anymore. It is Photos


If you have MacOS 10:15 as shown in your OP then you should have the Photos app. Now might be the time to start using it. It can upgrade your iPhoto library for you so you don't lose anything. (Or not much anyway - there are some iPhoto facilities not matched in photos, such as events. These are converted to albums - there may be other limitations)
