This has happened before – perhaps 2 or more years ago. The solution is on the forum here somewhere, but I failed to find it.

@duyluong do you remember this?

In the meantime, try a side-by-side install and see if that cures it.

Can anyone help me resolve this issue ?

Hi @wpnadhikari thank you for your follow-up. Did you try download the latest version of Katalon Studio. [New release] Katalon Studio 8.4.1?

Yes, I did. Still the issue is there. I am not able to continue work because of this.

The following screenshot is the usual look.

You can find that “Project” is displayd as “Rtqlgev” in the screenshot of the original post.

I made a text file which contains “Rtqlgev” in the 1st line, “Project” in the 2nd line:

Then I opened the file using Hex-Decimal editor to see the binery value of each strings.

Rtqlgev → 0x52 0x74 0x71 0x6C 0x67 0x65 0x76
Project → 0x50 0x72 0x6F 0x6A 0x65 0x63 0x74

I could find a simple relation between Rtqlgev and Project. That is, each bytes of "Project" plus 0x02 makes "Rtqlgev". 0x50 (“P”) + 0x02 = 0x52 ()“R” , 0x72 (“r”) + 0x02 = 0x74 (“t”), and so on. This looks like a kind of Caesar Encryption. Rtqlgev is no longer strange to me.

That’s all I found. No more insight I have.

Please look at the screenshot attached. Even the file names are encrypted. and most of the options in the bottom.
