Thanks for reporting. (Presumably) the same issue has also been reported
at https://github.com/flathub/org.tug.texworks/issues/1.
It seems this is caused by a recent change in Qt, the underlying
framework TeXworks uses for the user interface.

Could you try the latest development version from
https://bintray.com/texworks/OSX-latest/TeXworks-for-Mac%3Alatest#files
(March 20 or later should work)? Does this fix the problem?

HTH
