With wxRuby-ruby19- v2.0.1, my app works well on Mac. But on Windows,  
it freezes after typing up to a dozen of characters in a  
StyledTextControl, mouse operations are fine. Once freezing, Ctrl+C  
couldn’t end the process.

My env:  
Windows XP  
ruby 1.9.1p243 (2009-07-16 revision 24175) [i386-mingw32]

It might be specific to my application (no issues on Ruby 1.8 with  
wxRuby 2.0.0 though), but hope get some advice on it.

Thanks,  
Zhimin

Do you use the installer from wxRuby ?

The StyledTextCtrl sample (samples/text/scintilla.rb) works fine for me.  
Can you try it ?

If the StyledTextCtrl sample works also fine for you, then the problem  
may be  
somewhere in your application. Then you should post a minimal part of  
your application  
that shows the problem.
