Ghost animation with AnimationCtrl in a toolbar.

wxPython Users

I’ve only seen this on OS X with 3.0.1.1: when an AnimationCtrl in the toolbar is played, a “ghost” animation shows up in the lower left hand corner of the window. I’m guessing it’s a DC issue.

The problem does not occur with 3.0.0.0 (in anaconda) or the 2.9.x version in Canopy. It does occur with the Homebrew wxpython (3.0.1.1) and with Apple’s python with the 3.0.1.1 Cocoa build from wxpython.org.

Screenshot and test script attached.

Unless there’s something I’m missing, I will also report it as a bug.

By way of workaround, is there a way to place a throbber in a toolbar?

Thanks,
Dave Cook

Had a chance to test this on a Mavericks machine with the same version of wxpython, and the problem does not occur there. So it seems to be a Yosemite specific problem.
