The only way to get it back is by switching to icon or compact view. I wonder what is causing this, or could it be a bug?

Any non-default options in the fstab? (noatime, nodiratime?) Errors in 'dmesg' or the Xorg.0.log? (maybe some oddity with X or fonts?) Have you re-installed the application(s)? (Sometimes this is the best medicine) Have your rebooted anytime recently? (Sometimes this helps me...) Are they stable versions of the application(s)? (Troubleshooting here...) I would probably say it's just a bug or glitch, though... (TBH, when I use the detailed view the file manager always does go way slower.)
