GroupBox's performance on Linux and win is not the same.

The size of the blank space at the top of the GroupBox is different
for the two operating systems.

This issue causes the interface to be out of order.

Desinged in linux, cross to win. The same problem exists when the
project file is compiled under win

test in lazarus2.2.6/3.4

That is not a bug:what you see is the diference between windows
widgets and gtk2 widgets. their behavior is slightly different. Qt
will behave also slightly different but may be closer to windows.

That's why many companies choose Electron for multi-platform support.
Big and slow though.

In addition of the info from Thaddy. It can also look on the same
Linux different, it depends on your widgetset and windowsmanager you
choosen. Sometimes the theming can also make differences.

That is why there exist fpGUI and MSEGUi.

But even then ... as mentioned by af0815 different platforms use
different desktop environments, different theming etc. etc.

So you can say: It's not a bug, it's by design.

For sure... Never in my lifetime have I expected a cross-platform tool
to behave, look and act exactly the same on all platforms it
supports... but perhaps that is just me ?

The current go-to for large companies developing cross-platform
products is "Electron", even Microsoft.
