Hey lament, thanks for letting us know about this.

I appreciate the screenshots as well, so let's see what we can find out.

Have you tried restarting the Dropbox app or your computer ever since this started happening?

To restart the app, quit and then relaunch it from your Applications folder.

Let me know if that helps.
