EVT_CHAR binding to TextCtrl

Hi, FAO of those who fix things:

On Ubuntu 16.04:
wx.version() -- '3.0.2.0 gtk2 (classic)'
sys.version -- '2.7.11+ (default, Apr 17 2016, 14:00:29) \n[GCC 5.3.1 20160413]'

Binding of EVT_CHAR to TextCtrl doesn't work (but EVT_KEY_DOWN
does). MS-Windows does NOT have this problem.

TIA, Enoch.
