Re: wxStyledTextCtrl and predictive text problem on Mac (wx 3.2.6, MacOS 15.3).

I've managed to recreate the problem using the sample by creating a small 
dialog, adding the wxStyledTextCtrl and then hitting the # key to display 
the autocomplete list. The list appears under the dialog.

I'm not sure what the correct procedure is to submit this as a bug.

All the best,

Tony.

PS. I've attached an image and the diff file.
