I think the problem comes from my installation. As I had F8 before, when I installed F12 I choosed the option of upgrading. I'll try a new full installation of F12, and I'll see if the problem is fixed.

It is never a good idea to "upgrade" more than one level.  F8 to F9,
that's probably OK.  F8 to F12 (a skip of four) is most likely going
to have problems.

And since F12 has gone end-of-life, you really should start over with
an install of F14.
