Notepadqq is broken and reinstall doesn't help
There's several things wrong with my Notepadqq installation and I want to do a clean reinstall. How?
I already tried:
sudo apt purge notepadqq
sudo apt-get install notepadqq
Somehow I still ended up with the same broken installation.
I attached a screenshot of current Notepadqq state below. It shows menu bars and toolbars missing (unable to get them back with ALT+T). It also shows how the first letter of every row is partially hidden behind the column that shows row numbers.

Can you check in your ~/.config directory to see if there is a configuration folder or file for notepadqq? If there is, you could try renaming or deleting it (while notepadqq is not running) and then restarting notepadqq

Program often store configurations in your local ~/.config file, which are not deleted even though the program itself is purged.
As a test, while notepadqq is not running, you can either rename or delete the configuration file for notepadqq and then restart the program, which will cause it to return to a default configuration.
In a terminal window:
cd ~/.config
mv <filename> <filename>.bak
exit
where <filename> is the name of the file or directory containing the configuration files for notepadqq
