Thanks Ian, for the speedy analysis and workaround.
We have now been asked whether Fedora 37 should or should not switch to
wxPython 4.2.0. Currently, only Rawhide has it.
As has already been mentioned, two versions of wxPython cannot coexist in
Fedora, so F37 will either have wxPython 4.0.7 or wxPython 4.2.0.
On the pro side, it would be nice to get more testing on wxPython 4.2.0 sooner,
and it would let Fedora retire the older wxGTK3 sooner.
On the con side, there may be more bugs lurking, which would require fixes in
the KiCad 6.x series.
Fedora 37 will be released around 2022-10-25, and the F37 beta is expected in
mid-September, so unfortunately we cannot expect to have KiCad 7 in F37. (As
you may remember, while we have a policy exception permitting a major version
change of KiCad in a numbered Fedora release, we were advised to use the
exception only when necessary to fix critical/security bugs.)
I'd personally prefer to have wxPython 4.2.0 in F37, but it is not my call to
make. Wayne, Ian, other lead devs, what say you?
