Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla at FreeBSD.org> has asked Erlang FreeBSD Mailing
List <erlang at FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 243880: lang/erlang Please update WX to 3.1
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=243880



--- Description ---
Many people have issue with WX2.8 if Dark Theme is used under GUI, that
prevents from seeing Processess tab in :observer.start() WxWidget App.

Instead of repairing what is broken in WX2.8, it's better to use WX3.1+ for
lang/erlang build from source.

Patch attached and worked as expected. Erlang is supporting WX3.1 since several
months.
