Summary: wxTextCtrl - wxTE_MULTILINE problem on Mac

Initial Comment:
In the current revision (52192) of the 3.0.0 (2.9.0) version, wxTE_MULTILINE wxTextCtrls seems to be broken on the Mac.

I built the library with the following configuration:

  ../configure --with-mac --disable-shared

on a Mac Pro under OSX 10.4.

Compiling the samples/text application works, but running it fails. The same program runs just fine on 2.8.7.

OK, sorry, that was a little bit too unspecific. ;-)

On the Mac no window appears (as is the case on Windows), and the icon in
the taskbar keeps jumping up and down. After a while the icon stops
jumping, if you then click on the icon the popup menu says that the
application is not responding.

If I start the application directly via "samples/text/text" (and not via
"text.app") in a Debug build, after a few seconds a dialog appears saying
that the program has been quit unexpectedly. I attached the stacktrace
which is available via the "Report..." button.

(Maybe it is not a problem of the wxTextCtrl and wxTE_MULTILINE per se. I
just found the problem when I wanted to run a tiny application which does
not contain much more than a wxTextCtrl. This worked with a single line
control, but not with a multiline one. Then I tried samples/text.)

File Added: wx.txt

What do you mean exactly by "fails"? How can it be seen (I'm mostly
interested in the problem under Windows but I'm sure Stefan would
appreciate a more detailed description of the problem under Mac too)?

Seems to be broken on WinXP as well.
