SashWindow -- buggy behavior

I'm using the wxPython 2.8.4.0 SashWindow demo on my Windows XP SP2 PC.

This strange behavior is repeatable:

  (1) Drag the left vertical sash as far right as it will go. It need not be a single drag.
  (2) Try to drag the bottom horizontal sash up the screen. It won't move.
  (3) Drag the left vertical sash the slightest bit to the left. The bottom horizontal sash suddenly jumps up to wherever you tried to drag it in step (2).

There are other sequences of steps like this. I'd like to use SashWindow, but not if it's going to behave like this.

Can anyone here explain this behavior? I'm hoping it's just a problem in the demo code, and not in SashWindow itself.

My guess is that it is a bug in SashWindow. Please enter a bug report about it.
