I have a Mac, running Lion, and I downloaded and installed fldigi 3.21.43 and then the just released 3.21.45, and I end up with fldigi coming up apparently only partially drawn! It seems to be missing much of the text in the windows, and menus, etc. Here's a pic of what I see...

Thanks for the picture. It looks like a bad install or the new is fldigi trying to read an old corrupted .xml file.  If that happened to me I would trash, the application, the .fldigi folder and the .dmg file. I would reboot the Mac, download a fresh copy of fldigi-3.21.45.dmg and start over as a new user.

If you are not interested is doing the above, quite fldigi, open your .fldigi folder and move two files
to your desktop.  They are fldigi_def.xml and fldigi.prefs.  Then launch fldigi-3.21.45.app.

It should bring up the Wizard to help you get started. Once you finish with the Wizard, click on Configur/Save Config button. This will write new files to your .fldigi folder. Trash the suspect files moved to our desktop.

Let us know what happens.
