maskededitctrl's defaulting to 22 pixels high, instead of 21

I noticed the other day on one of my dialogs that some controls have a different hight.

I tracked it down to that maskededit controls (textctrl and combobox in my case) have a default hight of 22 pixels instead of 21. This can be seen in the wxPython demo (wxPython 2.6.3.3 on Win XP), I contacted Will and got the following reply.

Quote from Will Sadkin:

I don't actually know why the default height is 22; it's being chosen by the underlying textctrl,
effectively by the call
   self.SetBestFittingSize((width, self.GetBestSize().height))
Where self is derived from wx.TextCtrl.

Maybe Robin or someone else can shed some light onto this?
