JP,

Thanks.  I was just looking at the problem and realized that it could also be a
scrolling issue.  Maybe you should post a bug report against wxWidgets 2.8.12
so that it can be fixed in the next release of the 2.8 branch.   I haven't
heard anything about version 3 of wxWidgets being released any time soon.
