Menu shortcuts with/out shift the same

wxPython Users

Hello,

after fighting about 2 hours, whats happened with wxpython 2.8.12.1, I
came to a preliminary result.

First describe it: on my wxpython editor, suddenly there was no
difference anymore between calling a menu with shift key or not.

Example: Find="F3" Find Next= \tShift+F3". Until wxPy 2.8.11
everything was fine. Than I updated (dist-upgrade) my XUbuntu from
Oneiric to precise; this caused also the update for wxPython from
2.8.11.0 to 2.8.12.1, and then the problem begun.

I really don't know, if that has to do with wxpython or not (maybe its
gtk itself, ...)

To duplicate that on my PC (easily on Demo)
Core: Windows Controls: Menu

Change the line with Hello to
menu5.Append(502, "Hello\tShift+F8"), save modified

Shift F8 is working, BUT ALSO F8 (if you press F8, also "Hello from
Jean-Michel" appears.

That is the problem, that my editor is not really usable now.
unfortunatly i cannot downgrade to wxpy 2.8.11.0 (and I'm not sure, if
that would help, because as I said, I'm not sure, if the problem
really lies in wxpython)

The attached is working fine for me on Ubuntu 11.10, as well as MSW and OSX, with both wxPython 2.8.12.x and 2.9.3.1.

Strange. It happens also on a second PC, upgrading to Ubuntu precise
(12.04).

Trying your sample again, it always displays "Without Shift", no
matter, if I hit F6 or Shift-F6.

python acceltest.py
2.8.12.1 (gtk2-unicode)
Without Shift
Without Shift
