See attached example code.
In my real app, I am using a SearchCtrl for incremental search by adding a handler for EVT_TEXT.
Strangely, calling SetFocus in the EVT_TEXT handler clears the SearchCtrl text except for the last character typed.
Remove the SetFocus call and it works.
Calling SetFocus from an EVT_TEXT handler used to work in wxPython 2.9.
In my real app, sometimes the search brings up another window that grabs the focus.
I want to bring it back to the SearchCtrl to continue the incremental search, hence the need for a call to SetFocus in the EVT_TEXT handler.
Suggestions? A bug that crept in?

Add self.search.SetInsertionPointEnd() after self.search.SetFocus() . When SetFocus() is called, the whole text in the TextCtrl is marked. Weh you then just type, the marked text will be replaced.
