Using Mint with wx3.0.2 (on MSW there is no problem). When you want to find in projet files, the Projects and Targets choices have blank lines at the top..

    Looks like a visual artifact from GTK2, the lines are not selectable and the wxChoice line count is correct. I will investigate on last Ubuntu with GTK3...

    I cannot remember seeing these in Xaviou's nightly Debian builds that I have installed on Mint 20.03 or the nightly build I have done.

    Unfortunately I have been having issues with my PC and yesterday my Mint 20,.03 virtual machine started playing up and I need to re-build it later this week using scripts I have to speed process.

    My XUbuntu 20.04 VM using Xaviou's nightly Debian build svn 12839 works fine. Below is the C::B help info and attached is the find dialog.

    My test system is Mint 18.2 (Sonya) inside Virtual Box. The issue happens in the Project and Target wxChoice when opening C::B workspace; the Find text control is a wxComboBox.

    Probably this is just a poor design of the Choice in GTK2, if it looks OK on more GTK3 systems I will close the ticket.

      Updating to 20.03 from 18.2 is not simple. You are better to install 20.03 from scratch as it will be allot quicker.

      Attached is my VB LM 20.03 script to create the initial image

    On Ubuntu 22.04 with GTK3 the behaviour is similar. When the choice has more than about 10 items, the dropdown gets very tall and blank area is added on top or bottom (depending on the current selection)..

    Closing, as this is "expected" behaviour on GTK.
