I don't see this bug when I use:  A) new code from last night + B) wx3.x.  I see bug with
wx2.8.


I don't know for sure whether using wx3.x alone will fix this, but you could try.  If not
rest assured a fix is in hand, but one that depends on wx3.x.

The wx2.8 solution will be to switch back to modal for this particular dialog as part of a
macro that can be re-purposed.  Using the modal form of the macro on this dialog will also
fix the problem under wx2.8.


In your shoes, I'd start by installing wx3.x.  By either building it yourself, or finding
a package.  Here is how I build it:


$ ../configure --with-gtk --prefix=/opt/wx3.x-stl-release --with-expat --enable-html
--enable-stl --with-regex=builtin

and for a debug build:




>From an out of tree build dir.

$ make -j4

$ make install

$ ldconfig


And for a debug build, run it a second time in a new out of tree build dir:

 $ ../configure --with-gtk --prefix=/opt/wx3.x-stl --enable-debug --enable-debug_info
--enable-debug_gdb --with-expat --enable-html --enable-stl --with-regex=builtin

$ make -j4

$ make install

$ ldconfig


It takes less than 10 minutes.
