Summary: wxTextCtrl Selection design error

Initial Comment:
Not a bug but design error.

(This behaviour detected at GTK2, I don't know what
will happened at other OSes but I think we faced with
same behaviour.)

Independed objects reacts each other.

Code:

text_ctrl1->SetSelection(start,end);
text_ctrl2->SetSelection(start,end); 

removes text_ctrl1 selection. Why? Two "independed"
objects has to be selected in same time.

Correct behaviour is making selection both text_ctrl1
and text_ctrl2 and make it gray if that text
"unfocused" and make it colored which one is "focused".

wxWidgets looks better with this approach. Please fix
this incident A.S.A.P.
Thank you.
