list control searching on Linux

Ok, I'm sure it's me, but I can't get any list controls to do that trick
where you type a letter and it jumps to that entry in the list. What's it
called? Type-ahead/searching? Something like that.

I have also tried the Object List Control (by Phillip Piper) and it does not
function there either. I am thinking this is a GTK thing.

I am testing on Kubuntu (7-something) and Ubuntu (8.04) both with wxpython
2.8.x.x installed.

Any ideas?

Yes, it does work on Windows.

I've checked into the SVN changes that fixes the issues you've raised
(clipped checkboxes and non-searching when typing). It also fixes a few
other Linux specific ones.

Check them out if you're interested (I can email the new version to you if
you don't use SVN). Normal bleeding edge code warnings apply :slight_smile:

Regards,
Phillip

Great!

I'll head on over to your SVN.

Many thanks.
