Theme element `combmatrix.label.make_space` is not defined in the element hierarchy.

[biomystery]

Describe the problem

The following shiny app will produce an error message

ERROR: Theme element `combmatrix.label.make_space` is not defined in the element hierarchy.

But if comment out thematic_shiny(font = "auto"). The app can run without no problem.

The theme element is defined in https://github.com/const-ae/ggupset/blob/ae2cc9287eb0cdd613b1d6cd6b8776435b287997/R/theme_combmatrix.R.

seems that thematic made the original ggplot2:::validate_element not work properly in this case

Has there been a resolution for this issue? I'm running in to the same problem.
