[wxPython-users] Win98, 2.8.4.0, TextCtrl, Text highlighted as if someone dragged a mouse over it

[Jorgen Bodde]

Hi this has been a long standing issue with wxWidgets / wxPython. I am
not sure if it is really an issue with wxWidgets, but with the fact
that the text ctrl is focused upon minimizing .. It should be fixed
somehow, one of the ways to do it is catch the maximuze event, and
when your text ctrl has the focus, set the string selection to
nothing. I have had this quirk in my app since wxWidgets 2.2.9.
