contacts won't create new list

I can't get Contacts to create a new list. When I click on the plus button in contacts, an "untitled list" appears in the side bar, but it won't let me title it, can't add contacts to it.

Once you have have created a new list with the name “untitled list”:


Select the “untitled list"

Select Edit/Rename List


This will let you rename the list and the name will stick.


NOTE: After you first create the “untitled list” you must unselect it first, for example by selecting another list (or by quitting contacts). Now when you select it next time you will be able to use Rename List to change its name.

There is no option available for "edit - rename list". It is not under the edit menu and not in the dropdown when i right lick the list. I've seen many posts about this problem, why no resolution?

MacBook Pro, M1, Sonoma 14.2.1, almost 1 free terabyte of icloud space, 500gb of free disk space, have restarted app and Mac, nothing.
