Broken Android Emulator Keyboard

Question

For no explainable reason, the emulator for my Xamarin.Android app started displaying the following keyboard (I didn't even change any code):

The keyboard was previously displaying correctly, and it still functions correctly (it still lets me type), it just looks weird. I have tried all of the following:
Restarting/rebuilding the app
Closing the emulator
Closing Visual Studio 2019
Rebooting my machine
None of these made any difference. I have not tried the app on a physical device, but I am assuming it is the emulator. Is there anything that might be causing this? I don't want to need to create a new emulator, so is there anything I can try before that (and I guess I should also ask whether creating a new emulator would be an appropriate thing to try).

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

Try to open the Android Device Manager to Factory Reset the emulator, then run the project on the emulator. If it doesn't work, please create a new emulator for test to check if the issue is caused the device.
