Hi Pedro
It's great that you set that up. I would suggest that you post it to the
wxWidgets trac system too. The forum is great for advice on how we can change
things, and doublemax really knows what he’s talking about, but the wxWidgets
devs only use trac for dealing with bug reports. If it is left on the forum
then it will get lost.

Hi Pedro:
More thoughts:
I like your example because it follows the first rule of debugging
which is to simplify the example that shows the strange behaviour.
And I get success on my platform, and you don't on yours which
confirms there is a problem (either there is a bug in wxwidgets/GTK+
or your simple example uses that software incorrectly). But it is a huge
simplification that PLplot is no longer involved, and I highly
approve.
And with regard to the actual problem demonstrated by this simple
example, I am still left wondering if you might be exposing some
wxwidgets or GTK+ bug on your fast hardware there that my slow
hardware does not expose here? So just for fun, can you get access to
a Linux system on a moderately slow PC there to try this simple
example? It doesn't have to be superslow. But I do have a
nine-year-old PC running at 2.4GHz with two cpus. So if you can find a
Linux PC that has roughly the same speed as that, you might find a
platform where you obtain success with your simple example which might
be a clue about the cause of this issue.
