Summary: wxRichTextCtrl forgets DefaultStyle 

Initial Comment:

Create wxRichTextCtrl and add the following code to set red colour as default for text

wxTextAttr t=m_richTextCtrl.GetDefaultStyle();
m_richTextCtrl.SetTextColour(wxColour(255,0,0));
m_richTextCtrl.SetDefaultStyle(t);

Run program. Now all text that you write or paste should be red, am I correct?
Write some text, set cursor to the first position in the editor, press Enter, press Up Arrow to return to the first postion. Try to write text - it will be black, but should be red.

When writing a bunch of text programmatically you can rely on the default
style being kept, but when editing, the default style is taken partly from
the style at the cursor and partly the current selections in the UI (e.g.
bold). So this can't be relied on to be permanent. It would probably be
better to set the basic style (SetBasicStyle) if you want a permanent style
for the buffer. Or you could perhaps force it in idle time.
