CHIRP

What I did - installed chirp-20240626-py3-none-any.whl on a Debian "testing" ("trixie") laptop and invoked it with ".local/bin/chirp".

Expected behavior: UI appears.

Actual behavior: UI does not appear. chirp crashes during startup:

dplatt@mewlips:~$ .local/bin/chirp
Traceback (most recent call last):

self.bug_report_item.Enable(False)
wx._core.wxAssertionError: C++ assertion ""m_menuItem"" failed at ./src/gtk/menu.cpp(803) in Enable(): invalid menu item

Analysis: the Enable() call is being performed on a menu item which hasn't yet been added to any menu bar. It looks as if this attempts to trigger a menu-bar reconstruction/redraw on the null menubar, triggering a crash.

Remedy: move the Enable() call down to the end of this paragraph, after "help_menu.Append(self.bug_report_item)". This appears to fix the problem.
