This sounds suspiciously like a bug I found, that is supposed to be 
fixed somewhere (at the least, I have a build I did myself that is 
non-broken). I also found that it only seems to happen with some 
mirrors, so you might want to try a different one.

However, be aware that the most recent build I've tried still gets the 
tree-structure color wrong, such that the tree lines and icons are 
invisible (in my actual colors, they are a different but visually 
indistinct color, but I have found that some colors make them 100% 
indistinct).
