Hi  
I have this screen on the my Maker side of the trade.  
I’m running Ubuntu 18.04.2 with the latest version of Bisq.  
I’m in touch with Arbitrator and they suggested I purge and re sync SPV (updated, upgraded and rebooted OS) which I’ve done and the trade screen didn’t change.  
Any suggestions?  
I’ve also tried the non local BTC node.

Thanks!

Just to update, The Arb closed the trade and reversed the deposits.

If the issue continues you might need to switch to a new data direcotry.

Yes, I am currently.  
After posting I tried to do another trade and withdrawal and the wallet errored and the interface froze and became unusable.  
I had a recent backup so I was able to transfer my Bisq coins to a new Bisq wallet/data directory. I was also able to use my old wallet seed to do a restore via electrum.  
Overall it was no fun. I had several hundred transactions in that wallet so I think was the issue. Going forward I am going swap new wallets in before wallet size becomes an issue.

This issue (blank trade screen) has popped up again for me and a fresh data directory.  
Is their directions for uninstall/reinstall the Bisq app? I can’t seem to uninstall and reinstall in Ubuntu 18.04.  
Thanks

There will be a new Bisq version very nextly, probably coming monday or tuesday.  
This would be a good opportunity to install this new version.  
Wait until the new download is proposed in your current Bisq appli and do it.  
If you have 0 open trade, open dispute, etc, this would be a plus to start over with a max fresh installation.

Your issue is however quite a strange one.  
If the new install doesn’t solve it, please keep us informed.
