Newbie basics--print in 'Info' box is fuzzy, can't enter in most fields

I captured the bibliographic data for Lord Rayleigh's Scientific Papers, vol. I, off its google book page. In the 'Info' box, 'Volume:' didn't have a 'I' after it. Nor will it let me enter a 'I." I could edit this in the bibliography RTF text file, or in word, but, really?

I tried to use the 'New Item' button. It gets me a book icon, and in the Info box, will let me choose whether it really is a book, but I can't enter any other data.

Plus, always, all the fields in the 'Info' box are in fuzzy print. The data is in fuzzy outline print.

What's amiss? Did I miss something obvious?
