wxMac: Why doesn't SetBackgroundColor() work with wxTextCtrl?

[Stefan Csomor]

Hi

it is a limitation of the native unicode text control. If you set to use
always MLTE (system option wxMAC_TEXTCONTROL_USE_MLTE = 1) then things
work correctly. 

In 10.5 the problem that is the root of all this is solved, but before
that there's no other option I'm aware of unfortunately.

Best,

Stefan
