Some problems in the migration from Classic to Phoenix (cry for help?)

Hi all,

I announced already on this list that I am migrating an application from 
wxPython 2.8.12.1 to Phoenix, and at the same time from Python 2.7 to 
Python 3.6.

Well, I have a lot of software design problems, that I slowly try to solve, 
but the immediate things are some bugs that I blame on Phoenix side. 
Although, they may be because the code was done to Classic and there may be 
some unnoticed differences in Phoenix which have impact.

List of issues:
- On Windows 10, wxPython 4.0.0, python 2.7.13:
    The selection of text on a CustomGrid cell, is not highlighted.  (this 
problem existed once in Linux, GTK3+ but was fixed, and at the moment it 
was OK on Windows) It is OK on Windows 7.
- On Windows 7 and 10, wxPython 4.0.0/4.0.1, python 2.7.13:
     It is not possible to type text on certain fields, like, Library 
button and Name field. The only way is to paste with context menu (CTRL-V 
also not working). No problems with GTK3+.
     On certain text fields like Add Scalar button, Name text field, there 
is no blinking cursor. No problems with GTK3+.
     It does not work detaching a floating tooltip window with 
double-click, this works fine with 2.8.12.1 (on Cell Editor, type Log and 
press CTRL-M or CTRL-SPACE). No problems with GTK3+

Finally on all platforms:
     - When we move from the flat notebook tabs to the Editor (Grid), it 
may render grayed color without cells (there is a workaround, to move to 
Text Editor and back).
     - When we navigate from Editor to project Tree, we get crashes (not 
always).
I suspect that these are related on how it was designed. The Editor is 
being Created when we select its Tab and probably Destroyed when replaced.


If by chance *anyone *would like to install and try this Robot Framework 
IDE, I have a release here 
<https://github.com/HelioGuilherme66/RIDE/releases/tag/v1.7.1> (there is 
also a link to a Wiki page with the known Issues).
One day when my project is bug "free", I'll start doing regression tests 
for all the Demos of wxPython ;).

pip install wxPython
pip install robotframework
pip install pygments
pip install https://github.com/HelioGuilherme66/RIDE/archive/v1.7.1.zip

Thank you for your time. I am also grateful to all the opensource 
developers that makes all this possible (specifically GTK, wxWidgets, 
wxPython and robotframework/RIDE).
