Titles stopped appearing in Photos

I've launched Photos today and in standard library view the captions/filenames no longer appear beneath the photos. Help says it will appear when you hold over the picture but this doesn't work.


Titles is selected in View > Metadata.

Photos 8.0 (551.0.140)

Ventura 13.4.1 (22F82)

iMac, OS X 10.11
