It might be fixed by #2925 ? Try 3.3.3.rc2 at link:

@larwood Have you been able to test 3.3.3rc2?

[larwood]

I have not sorry. I will try and find some time tomorrow.

Is there an unstable repository for Fedora 39? If not I guess I could try the flatpak or pull the git branch and run it from there.

[mathiascode]

There's no unstable Fedora repository, but running from git is quite easy.

I checked out the repo and 3.3.3rc2 connected successfully to port 2234.

I then checked out a new local branch to 'tags/3.3.2' and confirmed it cannot listen on port 2234.

I conclude that the issue is resolved in 3.3.3rc2.

Thank you.
