I see. It sounds reasonable, too. Unfortunately switching back to this 
line does not work. Even if it would, it would bypass the improvement that 
was introduced with the last patch.

There were not many lines that changed, so I tried to revert them one by 
one and found that this change caused the problem:

-            (\tc -> (textCtrlGetValue tc, \s -> do textCtrlClear tc; 
textCtrlWriteText tc s)) $
+            (\tc -> (textCtrlGetValue tc, \s -> do textCtrlChangeValue tc s)) $


It may be related to my observation that the textCtrl sometimes chooses a 
variable-space font if I enter text at the end of a text Ctrl in an 
otherwise mono-spaced text. That is, it seems to be important _how_ a text 
is inserted.

Maybe this is even a Wx bug?
