Wow, i did not expect that.

i tried to give as many information for the beginning as i could.
I really appreciate the support on this forum, i got many useful
hints here, but i also thought that bug reports were appreciated.

For my application it is not that important, i got a workaround
and did not put that many information in it.

But by changing the sample application i see that 64 characters
are shown, i see:

012345678901234567890123456789
012345678901234567890123456789
01

There are two "\n" in there at the end of the first two lines.

I use compiled wxWidgets as Release and as Unicode.  Could it
be that a buffer of 256 "char" is available for the tooltip
and a Unicode character takes 4 bytes?


Best regards,
Torsten.
