#138 Editor displays strange characters at end of line

[Jesper Hertel]

The Python source code editor in Boa displays strange
characters at the end of some lines.

It seems like that only lines containing non-ASCII
characters has these strange characters appended.

The strange characters only appear in the editor, not
when saving.

The strange characters change depending on where the
text cursor is.

There is exactly one strange character at the end of
the line per non-ASCII character in the line.

A line like this:

זרו

displays as

זרו<box><box><x>

where <box> is a box character and <x> is n, r, or a
box character, depending on where the text cursor is.

My system is Windows 2000, Python 2.3, Boa 0.2.3,
wxPython 2.4.1.2u.

Could it have something to do with the unicode version
of wxPython?

I tried uninstalling the unicode version of wxPython and
installed the normal ANSI version instead, and the problem
was solved!

It's a bug in wxPython. I know of no workaround apart from
switching to the non-unicode version.
