Agreed. This is not the way to solve this.

I don't see how the Affiche_Status_Box() (I really need to rename this
UpdateStatusBar() because that's what it does) is causing the problem.
The device context used in the PcbNew draw panel should have nothing to
to with the device context used to draw the status bar. I don't have
access to a MAC and even if I did, it would take hours just getting the
build and development environment set up to do any testing. Not high on
my list of things to do. Can somebody else out there with a MAC take a
look at this?

Try commenting out this line and see if the status bar continues to get
updated correctly. I can check it out on Linux and Windows, if the
status bar still gets updated correctly. I'll just remove the offending
line of code.

Could this be a problem with the OSX version of wxWidgets since it
doesn't appear to effect Linux or Windows? Have you tried running a
debug build (debug build of wxWidgets too) to see if there are any
assert messages that occur before you get this error? It might be helpful.
