Why do categories look like this? BEE1E87C-017E-4087-99B7-0C809741A7BC

I upgraded today to Quicken for Mac Deluxe v6.0.3 and my categories that have subcategories became some kind of index. This issue has probably been addressed already but I couldn't find search terms that worked. What do I do about putting them back into English? I do not want to go to a backup because I just updated all my accounts and I may not get that data back.

I think the closest we've come to identifying a possible cause is some sort of conflict with Quicken cloud (web or mobile) during an update, but I cannot confirm that for sure. But I don't know of any way to fix it other than going back to a backup. I'd turn off Sync (web/mobile) before doing anything in the file.
Here are some other links to users reporting the same problem, but none have resolutions…
