Help finding corruption

Help

V5.2.3 on Win10
Today after starting gramps I found about 8 blank lines in the drop down menu for the custom filter in the People view. In addition in some of the data views the columns are all messed up. 0 width.
This has happened to me before. I can’t find my notes on which file to fix.
Any suggestions???
TIA

Quit Gramps and inspect the gramps52/custom_filters.xml file. More than likely, there was a corruption when writing the file. (For instance, that might happen when an addon rule causes a problem validating a custom filter.)

Well by deleting rules in the file, I got it down to one example rule that causes a blank line in the filter menu (I have about 8 in the file causing the issue).
I’m not a developer so I’m unable to determine what the error is. Would some one like to advise how to fix this?
Here is one of the rules causing the issue:

     <filter name="Not Checked for sources" function="and" comment="Created by Filter+ gramplet on 2024-09-30">
      <rule class="MatchesFilter" use_regex="False" use_case="False">
        <arg value="Not Checked"/>
      </rule>
      <rule class="HasTag" use_regex="False" use_case="False">
        <arg value="No Source Found"/>
      </rule>
      <rule class="HasBirth" use_regex="False" use_case="False">
        <arg value="between 1500 and 1950"/>
        <arg value=""/>
        <arg value=""/>
      </rule>
    </filter>

If you want the whole file, you will have to message me with your email address. Dave
