Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.

That worked, thanx, but I do not have any add ons. The only addon I had was Lighting and it was disabled. I removed it anyway. I still had the issue so I hit the button to reset toolbars and controls. The filter issue is gone. My toolbar looks different but I don't remember what disappeared :) Must not have been very important!! Another symptom was that every filter only displayed the top condition. Now they are all visible again. I cannot say exactly what the "offender" was but it is fixed now. I know TB did a recent update. I'm running 60.5.0 (64-bit) now. Thanx again.
A theme is my guess. Apple buyers all seem to install a theme.
I've never used a theme.
