TipWindow .SetBoundingRect problem

wxPython Users

Hi all!

I'm having problems with the bounding-rect feature of the TipWindow. This is when running on WinXP with wx.2.5.3 (python 2.3.4).

I've put together a small test-case showing the problem.
When the mouse cursor leaves the red-panel (in the example) the shown TipWindow should be closed. Though for some reason is the given bounding rect is not taken into account.

This works at least with 2.4.2.4.

Thanks,
  Jan

This is probably because the wxPopupTansientWindow is no longer capturing the mouse, so it is no longer getting mouse events unless the mouse is inside the tip window. I'll see if having the tip window capture the mouse will work okay.
