Motorola Stock File Explorer Is Malfunctioning

[Heat84]

I have a Motorola Edge 2020 regular. The OS is LineageOS 21/Android 14. Something weird is happening with the stock file explorer. It only shows the Download folder on internal storage. It doesn't show my SD Card either. I didn't notice this because I rarely use it. I don't know when it stsrted. Possibly when I upgraded from LineageOS 20/Android 13. With the file explorer I usually use (X-Plore), it shows everything. I don't know if it's related to this, but another weird thing is happening. I have a Bit Torrent client called ttorrent. I don't know when this started either, possibly also when I upgraded from LineageOS/Android 13. But when I browse for a folder to save what I'm downloading, it opens the stock file explorer's file picker widget or whatever you call it. You just see the blank page with Recent in the top left quarter, as you see in the picture. The only items in the menus you see are file sorting and whether or not you want to show hidden files. Is there any way to change the default file explorer so I don't have to worry about this?

I didn't know whether it was Android or LineageOS. I was gonna talk to them eventually. Even if it is LineageOS, someone here might know something. I don't know if it is LineageOS, but its probably not Android. Since nobody else seems to have this problem, another app probably caused it. Or something I did. I'm just hoping somebody recognizes the symptoms.
