Hi,
The changes to Wx that allow use with the standard Perl executable on
Mac have caused me a few issues.
Using a syntax editor ( I use Komodo but I would guess Padre etc will
have the same problems ) is now impossible as any process spawned to
check syntax is brought to the front and given focus - taking it away
from my editor.
A lesser problem is that you also cannot use your Mac for anything else
whilst Wx tests are running (or tests for any module that loads Wx).
The attached patch moves the foregrounding code to a function and
requires application code to do something like:
Wx::MacSetFrontProcess() if Wx::wxMAC();
The question is, is it just me that finds this an issue and would
everybody else prefer SetFrontProcess to happen automatically as it does
in Wx 0.98?
Regards
Mark
