Fields changing titles in layout mode

Not really sure where to post this one....

I noticed today while in layout mode in one of the DBs at work that the majority of fields are titled with generic slogans (see attachment...replaces field names with things such as "Accessible power", "graphic reporting", "Powerful scripts", "Customizable buttons", etc.). Container fields show the filemaker logo, etc. This is in FM Dev 7

However when the fields are double clicked they show the correct name (and the database works just fine). I made a clone and took it home to view in FM 8.5 and the same occurs in layout mode.

Any ideas what this is about or how it might have happened? (Or better yet how to fix)?
