That's a dropdown menu that is rendering wrong on the Mac
for some reason.

Sorry I cant exactly fix that build for you now, you might try
just clicking on the box and creating a random item type and
then change the type from the right-hand editor.

Or... try building the glade-3-8 branch on your mac... see
if it fixes anything (maybe with more recent GTK+ things
are improved... the bundle you downloaded will be packaging..
I guess GTK+ 2.16 or 2.18).

Cheers,
