[chirp_devel] Dialog quirks on Linux(es)

[Martin Cooper]

I'm seeing some differences in how the Edit Memory dialog is displayed on
different platforms. Since I'm not in a position to isolate the source, I
thought perhaps others could chime in with what they see.

On MacOS / Python 3.7.0 / wxPython 4.2.0, the dialog looks good.

On Xubuntu 18.04 / Python 3.7.5 / wxPython 4.1.1, the left column is not
wide enough for the labels, and the dialog is too _short_, so that it needs
to be scrolled to see the last few entries. (The dialog is not resizable,
but it shouldn't need to be.)

On Linux Mint 20.04 / Python 3.8.10 / wxPython 4.2.0, the left column is
not wide enough for the labels (as with Xubuntu, above), and the dialog is
too _tall_, with quite a bit of whitespace below the entries.

The issue with the label column being too narrow seems like FitColumns just
not working on Linux. The height issue could be a difference between
wxPython versions - or something else.

Any other data points, or perhaps thoughts on how to fix the rendering?

Martin.
