Short description of error
Creating new file leads to UI bug:
UI can be fixed by main window resizing.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Create new file by "File / New" menu command.

I can recreate the issue on Win7 build
ed6d88f
by renaming the userpref.blend file in the config folder so Blender cannot load it.Parts of the UI will be blank until the window is resized with both loading the Default Template and a New File.
In this case, it is possible that the userpref blend is missing or that is somehow got corrupted / incompatible with the current builds.

I can also confirm the bug.

I've committed a fix which solves the case described by @VukGardasevic on macOS, when there is no userpref.blend.
Can someone confirm if this solves the bug on Windows? It's not clear to me if it only happens without a userpref.blend or if there's another issue.
tested on windows with a missing userpref.blend , problem is solved,

Thanks, I'll consider it fixed then.

This task probably needs to be reopened because I tried the latest build today (blender-2.78-fee7f68-win64) and still see the same behavior when userpref.blend is not present. (Using windows 7 64-bit)
Also no matter if userpref.blend is there or not, the menu command "File -> Load Factory Settings" always show the same error as shown in original reporters attached gif.
Is it possible that when userpref.blend is not present "File -> New" reverts to loading factory settings which is broken somehow.
Changed status from 'Resolved' to: 'Open'
I can confirm the bug is still there on windows. Two cases: user pref is there and only "load factory settings" will mess up. Or there is no userpref and then file->new and "load factory settings" will messup the UI.
I can also confirm "File -> Load Factory Settings" breaks the UI.
Interestingly, it seems resizing the window or causing a DPI change event or even moving the window restores the UI to the correct state.
