OSX: bug when trying to copy text from dialog

 

Hi all,

There's been a bug reported [1] that when an OSX user tries to copy text
from a dialog with Cmd-C the dialog is closed. This appears to be due to a
bug in wxWidgets [2]. The bug report includes a list of some dialogs
affected and others that aren't. After a quick look at the code, it seems
like at least one of the dialogs which is OK meets the conditions in the
wxWidgets report to be affected, and that maybe there is some (possibly
coincidental) workaround in the dialog.

If any OSX developer is able to cast an eye over the dialogs in question
and see if there is anything we could apply as a workaround until wxWidgets
is fixed, that would be appreciated.

Cheers
Blair
