Help Widget list blank after ICS when using launchers

I tried installing a launcher post ICS install (Nova, Go, and Apex are three that I tried) and when I try to add a widget, the list won't display any text (see attached photo). It does the same thing with any of the above mentioned launchers.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Neal

I am using Nova and see the same thing. I think the "true" method for adding a widget is not the same as it was in GB. In other words, long-pressing on the screen was for previous versions. For ICS, the intent was to use the widget list and drag and drop it to the screen of choice like the stock launcher. The 3rd party launchers tried to keep the old way, but it doesn't seem to work right. If you hold your finger on the widget in your screen shot, you should see the text. Not ideal, but it works. Nova does have the widget preview screen, but I keep forgetting to use it since it's still new (even though I've had ICS on my Transformer for a while and forget there too!)
 
Ya I noticed that, if you hold down on the widget to highlight you can see the text. If you use Nova, you can still add widgets through the app drawer. These just seems to be a minor inconvenience
