21 SHORT DESCRIPTION: Popup menu bug
23 If a popup wxMenu is destroyed after its parent window has been
24 destroyed, we get the message "Object XXX does not have windowed
26 Possible fix: call menu->DestroyMenu() before deleting the window,
27 if the window knows about the menu that was last popped up (hard
28 to know this with confidence).

40 SHORT DESCRIPTION: Misc. Motif bugs
42 - In wxGrid, cell highlight is not drawn/erased properly.
44 - Setting the size of a hidden window may show that window.
46 - wxRadioBox sometimes doesn't show (e.g. in controls sample).
48 - Can't set the colours for the buttons in the file selector, for
51 - On SGI IRIX 6.4, XtDestroyWidget in ~wxWindow causes a crash in
52 some cicumstances. This is being looked into. Meanwhile, a
53 possible workaround is to remove the final XtDestroyWidget line in ~wxWindow
54 (window.cpp). This will mean that child windows will only get
55 destroyed when frames and dialogs are destroyed, so dynamic subwindow
56 deletion may not work properly.
58 - There are reports that scrolling can cause crashes under Lesstif.
59 This is probably a Lesstif bug.

83 SHORT DESCRIPTION: Appending a menuitem with negative id causes menu not to be shown
84 DETAILS: I haven't tested it throughly, though it happens when appending a submenu
85 WORKAROUND: Add dummy id number even for menuitems which don't require them (submenus for example)

92 SHORT DESCRIPTION: no vertical space inside wxHTML
93 DETAILS: We are working on making a demonstration of projects we do here
94 using Python & wxWindows & HTML (wxPython/wxHTML thus). We 'd like to
95 have the opportunity to specify vertical space, eg <br><br>, or <p><p>
96 in HTML. These constructs currently do not work. I looked in the source
97 code (nice job btw), but am not sure where to hack the solution. I
98 am willing to discuss this in more detail.

136 SHORT+DESCRIPTION: misnamed setup.wXX files prevents install
138 WORKAROUND: The problem seems to be that the default download name for the setup.wXX files is not 'setup.wXX' but instead 'setup.wXX..wXX' Every new user who installs could change these names... but why not simply change them on the server? (I was using IE 5 under Windows 98)

210 The problem is tat FilterIndex is one based and the templates array is zero based. The correct

237 zero-based in MSW wxFileDialog implementation
238 (it's zero-based in wxGTK/the generic dialog).
