I can't imagine this not leading to a bug report. While I agree the units static text doesn't help to make typed-in units support more obvious, I don't really see how it hurts either. At least the user has an indication of the current units. Maybe a fancy wxRichTooltip[1] would be a decent solution to let users know about typed in unit support. > > If the user clicks into the control and types only a number, we’ll assume > current units and display them with the value when the textCtrl loses focus. > > We already have all the code to support this.
