[wxPython] Styled text control issues

wxPython Users
1

I have noticed variant behavior of the styled text control under Windows2000
versus Red Hat Linux 6.2 (wxPython 2.2.5):
1. When using a pop-up menu in the tree control, it takes a double-click
with the right mouse button to get the menu to appear in Windows. Works OK
in Linux.
2. Tool tips work correctly in Windows, but the tip disappears as soon as
the first character is typed in Linux. How do I get the tip to stay on the
screen as it does in Windows?

I did not see anything in the archives regarding these issues. Are these
known bugs that have workarounds?

Thanks.

Did you really mean "tree" here or styled text ctrl?

It's probably getting painted over when the editor is updated with the new
character. Does it happen in 2.3.1? I made a change there that may affect
this.
