Check Boxes in properties not displaying check, Version 16.01 on Ubuntu 16.04

[Aaron]

Is anyone else having this minor issue?

The check box squares in the properties pane does not display the actual check mark, but they do enable and disable their features.
In Ver 16.01 under Windows they operate as expected.

A bit annoying for visually impaired users I'm helping.

Is this a known issue or anomaly?

There seems to be a desktop under Ubuntu that causes a lot of GUI related bugs. I think it was called Unity or something like that.
No idea if this is one of the bugs.

I suggest posting the desktop info on your system.

You're talking about Is member and default pos and similar, aren't you?

[Aaron]

Yes
Is Member, Default Position, Default Size, Enabled, etc.

These all display the check mark inside the square in Windows PC Code Blocks installs.

Are there any other ubuntu users that have the same problem?

I checked this on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS 64-bit and Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS 64-bit (VirtualBox VMs), with a simple test and a more complex app and check marks were displayed as expected, e.g. on Panel1 in the wxSmith heirarchy.

Observations:

There are changes in gtk versions between Ubuntu LTS versions:

Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS:
libgtk2.0-0:
  Installed: 2.24.23-0ubuntu1.4
libgtk-3-0:
  Installed: 3.10.8-0ubuntu1.6

Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS:
libgtk2.0-0:
  Installed: 2.24.30-1ubuntu1
libgtk-3-0:
  Installed: 3.18.9-1ubuntu3.2

I don't see any mention of whether the problem was seen on a 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu / CB - it might have a bearing.

Checked OK on 16.04.2 64-bit with Gnome 3 and Punity desktops

Are there any other ubuntu users that have the same problem?

Of 3 Ubuntu PCs, one is missing the check marks.

Are you missing some fonts?

Counted 96 Fonts on Ubuntu. 53 fonts in Win 7.

64 Bit, all

Can you (backup and ) delete ~/.config/codeblocks then run Code::Blocks and check the checkmarks?

[oBFusCATed]

Interesting - are they the same hardware?
And are they fully updated ubuntus? Same ubuntu version?
Can you look in the Help -> About dialog and check if the version strings there match?

Can you tell me what wx version is used?
