Does this happen with all projects, also simple wizard created console project (for example) ?
If not, where is the difference ?
Can you provide a simple test project where the issue occurs ?

Happens with all projects, even a freshly created console project.

I think I have found a (partial) answer by doing the following experiment:

I renamed one of the .pc files on my system by giving it a different extension (.pc2), so the library finder wouldn't pick it up anymore. And indeed the window is one line shorter now. So it seems a huge number of .pc files causes the problem.

Further proof: Disabling the Library Finder plugin made the problem go away.

Wouldn't call that a fix. Anyway, it is probably some misconfiguration of the window layout. If it were my preferred GUI library (Gtkmm), I would know which flag to change. Unfortunately I have no clue about WxWidgets, so I can't continue investigating from here without digging through massive amount of documentation (for which I absolutely don't have the time).
