I think this was caused by a (not so recent) change regarding save states -
the old save state format was ignored, but I believe we fixed that.

what happens if you open a new tab with ctrl + shift + t,
or if you try to split a window with ctrl + shift + ( ?

Comment 2 Wolfgang Bauer 2019-12-17 16:36:43 UTC 
Might also be bug#415242.
Are you using the "Black on Light Background" colorscheme by chance? (would result in black text on black background)
Does switching to a different color scheme help?
Comment 3 Wolfgang Bauer 2019-12-29 10:39:22 UTC 
Is this still an issue?
The konsole package in openSUSE Tumbleweed contains the fix for bug#415242 since a couple of days.
Comment 4 Wolfgang Bauer 2020-01-05 18:53:56 UTC 
As there's still no reply, I'll mark this as duplicate.

The mentioned problem with restoring the saved state was indeed fixed earlier already, in 19.08.1/2 (see bug#412173).
