Is it fixable? I remember seeing it work when you built the module a few weeks ago.

Yes, it's fixable it's just very annoying that GTK is so particular.
This was not deliverable in a module because it's part of the UI. Are you saying you've had it work locally in a build since it was introduced but it's now failing? It has not changed since the first build it was delivered, so I'd be surprised if it worked before and now does not. The error indicates it's a failure that should always happen. Perhaps you tried it on something other than linux? Or a different distro with a different version of the wx libs?

Looks like there were several updates at some point that involve wx. It was definitely this laptop, running Ubuntu 24! I've attached the apt history log in case it helps.

- Status changed from New to In Progress
Updates to libs like that within a given distro rev are generally not going to change behavior like this.
Anyway, the reason it's failing for you now is because your recent list has grown large enough to need scrolling and a very annoying quirk of GTK (there are lots of them) is that the default min size is calculated on the fly before it knows what the dialog will actually look like. Thus the size constraint that works on all the other platforms fails on Linux/GTK because we set the max size before the min size.

How large is my list? How do I see and edit it? I shouldn't have any more than four radios on it.
