Re: LayoutEditor trouble on Mac?

6 months later...and I finally upgrade my trusty old G3 iMac to wxPython 2.8.9.1. Now I see these problems.

First there's the problem with the widget sample not fully loading in the resource editor. That seems to be the same issue as reported by Alex Schenkman in March ("BitmapCanvas problem in OSX") - it gets to drawing the BitmapCanvas widget and then fails due to "Cannot nest wxDCs on the same window". This appears to be due to changes in wxMac:

<http://lists.wxwidgets.org/pipermail/wx-users/2007-October/102956.html>

Having deliberately removed this component I then hit the other issue that 2.8.x.x users were seeing - not all of the window being displayed in the layout/resource editor. Did anybody work out what was causing this?
