HtmlWindow button weirdness

wxPython Users

Here's a weird one. I'm running wxPython 2.8.1.1 with Python 2.4.3 on a
Ubuntu Linux system. If I run the Python demo, and do Help, About, the
dialog is displayed with the "Okay" button in the upper left-hand
corner, instead of its rightful place toward the bottom. If I run
About.py by itself, the dialog looks fine.

I encountered this in my own application, and was pulling my hair out
until I noticed it in the demo as well. In my own application, it's a
bit weirder: when I click the OK button, it MOVES to its rightful place,
and I have to click it again to dismiss the dialog.

I am able to work around this by putting everything after the creating
of the wx.HtmlWindow into a separate function and calling it with
wx.CallAfter, but that's not optimal; the dialog blinks up at the wrong
size and fixes itself later.

Yep, this was discussed a couple days ago. I've asked about it on wx-dev, but no responses so far.
