I am using wxpython 2.8.10.1 (unicode) win64 for Python 2.6. I am
running this on Window 7 Ultimate 64bit that has been fully updated.
The behavior I am noticing started manifesting itself just recently
without explanation. I have an app that uses the STC control that I
have been using for years and have not modified recently. I have used
2.8.10.1 with it with no problems in recent weeks without incident.
Yesterday, I noticed that when I select text the control deletes the
selected text. The control is also endlessly incrementing the column
counter. Initially I thought I must have found a bug in my code or
that I had accidentally screwed up one of the files but this was not
the case. To make sure I didn't cause the problem I opened up various
wxpython STC demo apps and they all seem to manifest the same
behavior! I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling wxpython numerous
times without any change in behavior. At this point I am guessing that
a dependency in the OS has changed which is causing this bug. Can
someone verify the behavior and report back? Any help is appreciated.
