Unable to open bitcoin-qt when incoming connections disabled in settings

bitcoin-qt throws an error and crashes if incoming connections are disabled in settings. This did not happen in v22.0 but noticed it in RC2 during testing.

Expected behavior

Disable listenonion and launch bitcoin-qt automatically.
No error and bitcoin-qt should start as it happens with v22.0

Actual behavior

To reproduce

1. Download v22.0, run and disable incoming connections in settings
2. Restart bitcoin-qt
3. Download RC2, run and look for errors when incoming connections are disabled

System information

Confirmed the issue on Ubuntu and Windows

Isn't an error message self-descriptive?

FWIW, the behavior is not GUI-specific:

$ ./bin/bitcoind -listen=0 -listenonion=1
Error: Cannot set -listen=0 together with -listenonion=1

The behavior was changed in bitcoin/bitcoin#20769.

Thank you for testing v23.0rc2!

As this issue describes the expected behavior, could it be closed now?

It is, although there was a change in behavior compared to last release and not all gui users know usage of command line parameters.

FWIW, the behavior is not GUI-specific:

I am running bitcoin-qt binary with nothing in config, no command line parameters and incoming connections unchecked in settings.

The behavior was changed in bitcoin/bitcoin#20769.

According to pull request it should enforce listenonion=0 when the listen is 0. Error says listenionion is 1.

Yes, new behavior looks contra-intuitive.

As a temporary workaround suggesting to run bitcoin-qt -resetguisettings.
