Hi Wayne,

wxTextCtrl doesn’t properly send a wxEVT_TEXT_ENTER when it’s multi-line.
The standard work-around is to add a character hook to get it.

It seems like those would all be in dialogs, though, and shouldn’t be affecting
the main frame.

Hmmm… I see there’s also an EDA_DRAW_FRAME char hook.  But it’s
pretty innocuous:

void EDA_DRAW_FRAME::OnCharHook( wxKeyEvent& event )
{
    // Key events can be filtered here.
    // Currently no filtering is made.
    event.Skip();
}

Still, might be somewhere to put a breakpoint and hope for more info….

Cheers,
Jeff.
