Hi Piotr,

Welcome to the List! The problem you mention is related to wxWidgets 
2.8, it does not occur while using 2.9. Right now, the branch should 
work with both versions, but at one point in the future we will probably 
stick to 2.9 (or maybe 3.0), as it is already used by Win/Mac builds. It 
is much easier to maintain the software for one version of library 
instead of two.
Anyway, thank you for pointing that out - it should be already fixed in 
the repository.

Regards,
