EVT_PAINT handler raising excption, gets called repeatedly

[Charl P. Botha]

Dear all,

I'm running on Windows XP SP2 and wxPython 2.6.3.3.  If an EVT_PAINT
handler is raising an exception (and thus not returning normally), is
there any reason why it would then be repeatedly called?  If I catch
the exception inside the event handler, it behaves as expected.

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Charl
