Re: Re[2]: Mac shortcut keys issue. Keys being sent to parent frame window.

I've done a little experimentation on this today and seemed to have got 
something working. *But I'm really worried about any knock on effects.*

Two functions have been changed,  wxWidgetCocoaImpl::keyEvent in window.mm 
and - (void)sendEvent:(NSEvent *)anEvent in utils.mm (images below show the 
differences).

In the  wxWidgetCocoaImpl::keyEvent function (window.mm I think), for a key 
down event, it's sent to the menu first. If I re-order the function to what 
is below (let the control have a go first), copy/paste work. 

Are there any Mac specialists here that can comment on this change? 

Thanks in advance,

Tony.
