Multiple wxStyledTextCtrl and shortcut handling

[evstevemd]

I have this problem that I cannot sort out right now. I have three wxSTC under three different panels and I switch extensively between them. I want to be able to use shortcut (Ctrl+C/X/V). However, regadless of which STC have the focus, the first STC handles the event.

Here is an example if the above explanations aren't enough. Let say STCs are s1, s2 and s2.
- If focus is with s1 Ctrl+C copies selected text from s1 - Good
- move cursor to s2 and do Ctr+C, it copies selection from s1 - Bad
- move cursor to s3 and do Ctr+C, it copies selection from s1 - Bad

Is there a way to bind shortcurts to focused wxSTC without going thru handling events? wxTextCtrl seems to work just fine and effortlessly. I expected wxSTC to follow the same suit.

TIA

Can you build a small sample with only two wxSTC side-by-side and check if it happens there, too?

I didn't thought of this. Let me test that!

So I tested with sample the scenario is the same.
Just apply the patch below and then select text on an open editor. Go to menu (Window->Minima Editor) and it will open two more editors in a dialog.
Try select text in any of the two and do Ctrl+X and see that it cuts text from first editor not the current.

I'm not sure if that is the expected behavior or I just found a prize bug!

I haven't tested it myself yet, but this smells like a bug in wxSTC.
