Yes, I've occasionally seen this myself. It varies between distros, meaning their DE and/or Window Managers, and I've only seen it when 4Pane is built against GTK+3 (more accurately, when 4Pane's wxWidgets dependency is built against GTK+3).
And of course, I can't now find a DE/WM combination that demonstrates the issue!

Which distro/version are you using? And which DE and WM?
Which version of 4Pane? And of its wxWidgets and GTK: you can discover those by doing Ctrl-Alt-Middleclick over 4Pane: see the screenshot for my resulting dialog.

Sorry it took so long but it was a hectic Windows day.

Thank you; there's no hurry.

The other questions are:

Which Linux distro & version are you using?

Which version of 4Pane? (see Help > About 4Pane)

Which DE (Desktop Environment) and WM (Window manager)? If you are using the default ones for that distro/version just say so; otherwise:
echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
will probably print the DE. If wmctrl is available, doing as root:
wmctrl -m
should print the WM. Alternatively I've seen recommendations for Neofetch.

The other questions are:

Which Linux distro & version are you using? Xubuntu Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

Which version of 4Pane? (see Help > About 4Pane) 7.0

Which DE (Desktop Environment) and WM (Window manager)? If you are using the default ones for that distro/version just say so; otherwise: Defaults XFCE
echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
will probably print the DE. If wmctrl is available, doing as root: Name: Xfwm4
Class: xfwm4
PID: 1591
wmctrl -m
should print the WM. Alternatively I've seen recommendations for Neofetch.

Thank you. Testing the apt repository 4Pane, which is built against wxWidgets 3.0.5, I do see the issue (though it's not as bad as I've seen elsewhere!). When using the same version of 4Pane, but built against wx3.2.0., the issue has disappeared: see the screenshots (in the second shot you can see the wx3.0.5 4Pane in the background).

It was a wxWidgets bug, and was fixed 6 months ago after this bug-report.

If you want a 4Pane without the issue, you'll need to build it against a recent wxWidgets release. That's not available in the official repos, but you can download it from here. Once it's installed, you can build 4Pane from its source tarball: see https://www.4pane.co.uk/Installing.htm
