Pin Configuration Panel Missing Drop-downs

I recently installed STM32CubeIDE on a new computer for the first time. Starting out my first project, and I immediately run into an issue that makes the MX portion basically completely un-usable. The problem is that when I want to change the configuration of a pin I simply... can't.

For example, if I want to change PA2 (USART2_TX) Maximum output speed from low to high, before I would simply click on "low" and a small menu would pop-up that would let me change it to "high", and now that is just gone.

All I can do is change the user label in the pinout view (which will make the configuration refresh and I will see the user label appear) but for example, I cannot simply click on User Label in the configuration window and type something in, it just wont let me do that.

I have sure everything is running on the latest version; the IDE and all associated packages, as well as all my drivers and windows itself. I have tried completely uninstalling and re-installing CubeIDE, and when I say completely I mean I even went in and deleted all the other folders it installs ion places that the uninstaller does not delete. Nothing seems to be fixing this and its very frustrating.

You can change them in the GPIO tab.

So this doesn't have anything to do with the GPIO tab, but you got me half way there. I still don't know why double clicking on the pin doesn't allow me to see the drop down options, but now i realized if i scrolled down in the configuration tab all the same drop downs are down there. Not sure why they hide is after so much white space, but whatever.
