Hey, that works! Thanks very much! (Now I'll sit here for a bit and try to understand *why* it works . . .)

It sounds like you don't need it,but for completeness sake, there is:
wx.Window.HasCapture()
so you could do:
if self.HasCapture()
self.ReleaseMouse()
Though I don't know why there isn't a "Release the mouse if it's captured" method built in.

Because EVT_LEFT_UP is what the STC uses to know when to stop selecting text. With your event handler in place it is probably seeing the left down but is not able to see the left up event so its internal state thinks the mouse button is still pressed.
