Seems that I'm not the only one who noticed this! :-)

I can confirm this on a 12.0- system installed from scratch
in November 2019: The Print Preview dialog is damaged, as well
as the preview images displayed in the MATE file manager
(cannot remember its name, sorry). However, actual printing
and dealing with files works fully normal. The "full screen
print preview" also displays correctly.

This is very disappointing...

I haven't checked the "Export to PDF" feature yet, but will
definitely do this, as this is vital (unlike the thumbnail
and preview part, which is annoying, but doesn't matter that
much.)
