wx.Choice doesn't seem to report getting/losing the focus, even though I can use the keyboard to tab to the control.
In addition, when I select an item in a wx.Choice, the next control will emit a SET_FOCUS even though I never left the wx.Choice: all I did was set the selection.

If you put the controls inside a wx.Panel rather than directly in the
frame, things get better: if you tab to the choice, it gets the focus
correctly, and it keeps it even after changing the selection. However, it's
still true that if the text control has the focus, changing the selection
of the choice with the mouse doesn't cause a change of focus to that
control... can this be considered a bug?

Please enter a bug report (category == "wxGTK specific") about these issues.

Yes it did arrive, BTW.

Robin considers it a bug, and asked me to file a bug report on it, which I haven't gotten around to yet.
I should have put my test inside a panel, because I don't think that if you tab to it and tab away from it that the focus events will fire. At least that was my initial observation in running code that prompted me to make a small test case.
