Description

Using Pantheon DE, a number of Dr Racket windows are broken. The most significant window being the "Choose Language" dialog, making Dr Racket very difficult to use. Another user had a similar experience on Reddit (though I could not find any other issues filed)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the broken DrRacket windows on the Pantheon desktop, especially the "Choose Language" dialog shown in the issue screenshots. Compare the affected windows with a working desktop environment and identify the common GUI failure; done means the affected dialogs render and remain usable on Pantheon. The issue names no files or tests, so locating the relevant GUI code will require repository research.
