Thanks - that helps.  But something is still wrong.  When I toggle the pads and zones visibility to turn them on, I see the zones filled in, as expected.

But then, when I type ^B, I get 88 unrouted nets, and if I had "Show filled areas of zones" selected, the filled zone in the center of the board disappears although the zone outline remains.

So it seems that something is still wrong.
