XP look and feel vs CheckListBox repaint while scrolling

On Windows XP (SP2, but I doubt that matters), the CheckListBox widget doesn't repaint correctly for me if it gets scrolled. While this happens in a custom application, it also happens in the demo application.

We're using 2.6.1 and it happened in 2.6.0 as well. I don't think I saw it happening back with 2.5.x some months ago.

Getting rid of the pythonw.exe.manifest (and therefore getting Win2k look and feel) seemed to fix the problem, but that's clearly not a great solution.

Is anyone else seeing this? Does anyone know of a fix?

Hi Bruce,

I think I know the problem you're talking about. It happens to me as well (XP/SP2, Python 2.4, wxPython 2.6.1.0) when running the ListBox or CheckListBox examples. There was a thread on this a week or so ago (see: "scroll bug in ListBox?") and in that thread Ricardo Pedroso reports the following...

     I try with a 2.6.1.1 pre-release, and this bug doesnt happen.

     You can found the pre-release here:
     http://starship.python.net/crew/robind/wxPython/daily/20050615/

I haven't actually tried this to see if it fixes it on my system or not but give it a shot! It make take care of it for you.
