Golarian background for non-human races

[Klaus01]

I noticed, when I changed the race of my character from Human to Gnome (or Halfling, maybe others), there was a irritating change:

- The color of "Varisian" in "Starting Languages" changed from black to red (alert).

=> Opening the Languages dialog:
- every language from Golarion was not possible to choose (grey).
- Selecting "Varisian" anyway, I see the message:

Forbidden by: Midgard Option: Hide non-Midgard languages

But I don't posses any Midgard data pack, and the "Midgard Player's Guide" is even deselected in the Hero settings.
=> Therefore the option "Midgard Option: Hide non-Midgard" is not avail (grey; set to defaults)

Even the "Ethnicities" vanished on the Background tab, when switching from Human to Gnome race.

How can I create a Gnome from Varisia/Golarion?
Any help is appreciated.

My Herolab version is: v8.9h (28-Apr-2020), and no Updates avail.

Thanks in advance.
