Yann, This is now fixed to the best degree I know how in 5089. But you need to use wx3.x for it to work. It it not perfect, but quasimodal is a graft on top of the wx API, and without going to the platform API for further experimentation, we're limited. Still way ahead of where we started I would say. It's good enough for me, anyways.
