A pyQt application ported to wxPython, comments and testers needed.

Is it still doing this, or did you find what you were doing that caused it?

Some comments about the application. The skeleton is relatively simple,
2 Panels holding widgets packed with sizers in a SplitterWindow.

The left panel look like this:

class PanelLeft(wx.Panel):

     def __init__(self, parent, id):
         wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent, id, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize)
         self.parent = parent
         self.SetBackgroundColour(wx.RED)

         #widgets
         self.lc = MyListCtrl(self, wx.ID_ANY)
         self.b1 = wx.Button(self, wx.ID_ANY, 'Remove')
         self.b2 = wx.Button(self, wx.ID_ANY, 'Sort')

         self.b1.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnClick1)
         self.b2.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnClick2)

         hsizer1 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
         hsizer1.Add(self.b1, 0)
         hsizer1.Add(self.b2, 0, wx.LEFT, 10)

         b = 10
         vsizer1 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
         vsizer1.Add(self.lc, 1, wx.EXPAND | wx.ALL, b)
         vsizer1.Add(hsizer1, 0, wx.ALIGN_LEFT | wx.ALL, b)

         self.SetSizer(vsizer1)
         #very important
         self.SetMinSize(self.GetBestSize()) <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< line 80 in my code

     def OnClick1(self, event):
         ...

My experience:

- If I comment the line <<<<<<< and the sash is, let say, at position 300,
the panel in the left pane is too broad and cover the right pane by a few
hundreds of pixels.
- Interestingly, this happens only during the initialization, if I later manually move the sash *a few times* and I have to, the panel just get fitted correctly.
- A correct fit is also realizef after minimyzin and restoring the window.
This seems to indicate some trouble during the initialization.
- Replacing the ListCtrl with an another widget shows the same effect.
- Swapping panels did not help.
- Setting a sash position in different programm places (Frame, main Panel) did not help.
- Testing with different sash positions, including -1. No success.
- I'have tried several things like Layout, SetSizerAndFit, brute force in setting dimensions of the controls in the left panel. No success.

until I introduce this magic line.

Sorry, cann't say more, it's working like this on w2k and XP.
