What happened?

Release notes for 28.8.2 state issue fixed but in fact is the same. The Fan: Contest selection reads " Fan: Contes" when Amplifier app is in the Panel.

What did you expect?

That fixed meant that it rendered correctly now

Open Amplifier applet for PGXL and issue is when the app is in the Panel. If the app is moved out of the Panel, the word 'Contest' is shown correctly.

AetherSDR version

26.8.2

Radio model & firmware

Flex 8400M 4.2.20

Operating system

Windows

OS version and hardware

Research direction

Reproduce the PGXL Amplifier applet in the Panel on Windows 11 with the reported Flex 8400M setup, then compare the Fan: Contest selector with the detached applet. Trace the dropdown's rendering and layout path; done means the full word “Contest” is visible in the Panel and the detached view remains correct.
