Generally, framework design questions go on dabo-dev. Potential bugs
generally go on dabo-users. If the bug report turns out to uncover a
design issue with the framework, at that point we move it over to
dabo-dev.
What's the difference? There are a lot more subscribers to dabo-
users, and thus a greater pool of eyes to spot what might be the true
problem.

I think what Paul means is to debug by adding a print statement at
each potential branch or test so that you can see that the result is
what you are expecting.

I believe that his point was that since the default is white, it
makes sense while testing to set it to something other than white in
order to verify that it is/isn't working in that case.

I have tested this at the wxPython level, and it seems to be a
behavior in wxPython, not Dabo. I will report it to that list.
FWIW, I keep a small test program template to which I just add the
one or two controls I need, along with any code, and use that for my
examples. I have one for Dabo and one for wxPython, so that I can
report a problem easily at either level. I've added the Dabo template
after my sig.
