Those symptoms occur when GTK3 has been updated without darktable being updated to match. The red areas indicate that there's a problem with the layout, so CSS might be involved, but I more often see this when I update the OS from one release to the next (say, Ubuntu 17.04 to Ubuntu 17.10) without rebuilding darktable.

You say "My system updated over 400 packages this morning." Could it be that GTK was one of those packages?

What distro are you running?  How did you install darktable?

If you installed from the PPA, it's likely that it was disabled during the upgrade, and that you're running the darktable version from the previous release. Or if you build from source, you should do a complete rebuild.
