Propeller Firmware Loader

Hello,
Presenting the Propeller Firmware Loader, a stand-alone loader for the Propeller 1 and 2, designed to simplify the firmware updates distribution to end users / customers.
Features:
- Load P1 and P2 binary firmware files (with auto-detection)
- Program multiple P1 or P2 devices at once
- Program remote P1 or P2 devices equipped with the Parallax WX WiFi module
- Multiplatform, available for Linux, Windows, MacOS and RaspberryPi
It also supports opening a json file containing one or more firmwares for distributing firmware variants or keep the last n firmwares for possible downgrades. The tool for creating these files will soon be integrated into Spin Tools IDE.
Also, I'll integrate into Spin Tools IDE a function to create a package containing both the loader and the firmware to be distributed to end users, so they can just open the loader and program the devices.
The program is open source, hosted on GitHub:

Cool
Actual flashing works great but GUI layout is slightly goofed for me
Weird, seems that the widths are not calculated correctly, what DE is that ? XFCE ?
Can you run Spin Tools IDE and tell me if you see the same weird labels cut (in the preferences pages I guess) ?
This is KDE (or more pertinent, the Breeze GTK theme it defaults to)
Preferences in Spin Tools are fine, but the Find/Replace dialog has the same issue.
