Summary: Slider mouse events on OS X

Initial Comment:
I've noticed that when using a slider on OS X, the EVT_LEFT_UP never gets triggered when the mouse is over the thumb control. However, if you click within the rectangular area of the control, but not along the slider "slot" (i.e., click on the control where it won't affect the thumb control), the event is triggered.

I've created a simple program that demonstrates this problem. I see both the down and up events on Windows, but on OS X, only the down events.

import wx

class TestFrame(wx.Frame):
       def __init__(self, parent, id):
               super(TestFrame, self).__init__(parent=parent, id=id)
               self.SetSize((300, 400))
               pnl = wx.Panel(self)

               self.slider = wx.Slider(pnl)
               self.slider.SetPosition((50, 50))
               self.slider.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN, self.onSliderLeftDown)
               self.slider.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_UP, self.onSliderLeftUp)

       def onSliderLeftDown(self, evt):
               print "SLIDER LEFT DOWN"
               evt.Skip()

       def onSliderLeftUp(self, evt):
               print "SLIDER LEFT UP"
               evt.Skip()

if __name__ == '__main__':
       app = wx.PySimpleApp()
       frm = TestFrame(None, -1)
       frm.Show()
       app.MainLoop()
