I cannot replicate this issue. It works correctly for me with Python
2.4, wxPython 2.8.4.2 (msw-unicode) on Windows XP SP2.

What version of Python/wxPython are you using? OS? It may just be that
you need to upgrade your wxPython or it's a bug on Mac/Linux. You
should post this to the wxPython mailing group here: http://www.wxpython.org/maillist.php
