TextCtrl problem, with sample code and screenshot

wxPython Users

Please see the attached sample code and screenshot. I've never seen a simple TextCtrl do this before, and it sure feels like a bug.

Any suggestions on how I can get it to show the whole line rather than just the last half?

I'm using wxPython 3.0.0 Classic on Win7 x64 with Py 2.7.6 x32.

Thanks,
Michael

I’ve seen that before. Try something like this:

self.tctrl.SetInsertionPoint(0)

Or maybe just setting focus on the text control will make it work correctly.

Call self.Layout() at the end of MainDialog’s init

Call self.Layout() at the end of MainDialog's __init__

What does that button (arrow pointing in both left and right directions, separately placed left from the minimize & maximize & close buttons) do in your app?

At first reading I had not the slightest idea what you were talking about ... :slight_smile:

But it's a button added by TeamViewer that says "share this window with a remote user", it's not part of my wx program. Teamviewer is an excellent cross-platform remote access solution.
