My Tab Bar occasionally loads without the Tab names ... a reload or two of the browser usually solves this but ... showing very, very faintly are the left side 'Click to go back/forward' and the right side 3 dots 'Customise' etc. However these functions are still available when clicking in the area.
Is this a change by Google or some issue that I can resolve

... I have tried all the usual such as numerous restarts, browser reloads and rechecked my Google Settings.
These browser changes are very recent and my Chrome is up to date:
Version 97.0.4692.71 (Official Build) (64-bit).
My lady's pc (similar model) uses the same browser and all is correct which could suggest that I 'own the problem' though her version is earlier 96.0.446.110 ... we have not yet clicked the Relaunch button. She refuses!
