SearchCtrl hint text does not disappear

wxPython Users

Hi,

sorry if there is already any answer but I haven’t found anything. The problem is that when I click into empty wx.SearchCtrl (only with grey ‘Search’ text) and start to type, the ‘search’ text is still there and ruins the search, of course. I have Ubuntu 12.04 and quite recent build of wxPython 2.9.4. I have no such problems with 2.8.12.

Thanks,

Anna

Does the SearchCtrl sample in the demo also behave that way? It is working for me here, although that is with my current 2.9.5 workspace.

Yes, it’s the same. I use self-compiled 2.9.4.0 gtk2 (classic). Should I try to compile the most recent version? Do you think there are any relevant changes?

Thanks,

There have been several changes for that source module, so it is likely that one of them fixed this issue.

Right, problem solved for latest wxPython version.

Thanks for help,
