Changing (colour) preferences leads to a gtk crash

[digidoor]

Steps to reproduce:

• install endeavorOS (MATE, in this particular case; it's a gtk issue as far as I can tell)
• install wxHexEditor from AUR
• open wx settings and change preferences on colors
• click "Save"
• produces the following error:

/usr/src/debug/wxwidgets/wxWidgets-3.2.4/src/gtk/choice.cpp(303): assert ""Assert failure"" failed in GetString(): invalid index

More specifically, the backtrace:

Same issue on debian 12, but I managed to fix it : I noted that the Language option on the preferences was empty, so I chose one - "English" in my case- , now the prefs can save any chances. HTH
