Yes, the window is not usable in any way.

This happens if I try to open paraview from the terminal.  
I have two versions, the one that comes with openFOAM and the downloaded version.

Can you confirm you also have the warning ?

What is you GPU and GPU driver ?

I also get the warning when trying to open paraview or paraFoam (which is the distribution that comes with OpenFOAM).  
This is the information I get when i ask in terminal for the GPU:

Hello, I have the same error. When opening paraview from the terminal the open foam geometry shows normally, but there is no colorscale. Rescaling does not change anything. The error warning I get is  
Mesa warning: Window 6291476 has no colormap!  
My GPU is an AMD ryzen 7.
