It should come as a s surprise to no one that these are the result of OS X wxWidgets issues. The wxWidgets bug tracker is littered with variants of these, some of which were ostensibly fixed, while others have languished for years. I have a minimal repro for both so I’ll file bugs there. I wouldn’t expect to see a fix on the 3.0 branch any time soon. I have a wxWidgets patch that is slightly less lame, but it still just works around the real issue so it’s probably not worth maintaining a yet another wxWidgets patch for that. Garth
