Controls in Toolbar; Drawing Problem
I’ve got a curious problem when adding controls to the toolbar. If you take a quick look at the attached GIF, you’ll see what looks like a seperator being drawn in the background at the center of controls that don’t fill the whole toolbar vertically. (You might want to look at the GIF then reread that last bit!)

The problem is most pronounced on StaticText (the one I initially tried to use,) but is also visible in checkboxes and sized Gauges.

Is this a bug or an oversight?

I've got a curious problem when adding controls to the toolbar. If you

being drawn in the background at the center of controls that don't fill

the

whole toolbar vertically.

Unfortunately the native toolbar has to be fooled into making space for the
controls by adding separators behind them. The only consolation I can offer
is that you can sometimes see this in Microsoft applications too!

Perhaps you can make your own wxControl that has the static text and whatnot
on it, but which is taller than the static text so it will hide the
separator...
