wxPython 2.8.9.1 APPCRASH under windows vista 64 bit using python 2.6.

[asnast]

Hello.
When i try and run a very simple wxpython app:

import wx
app = wx.PySimpleApp()
frame = wx.Frame(None, -1, "Hello World")
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()

The window pops up but crashes when i mouse over it. I get the following report:

This doesn't happen with python 2.5.2.

Hello.

Same problem here with wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.9.1-py26 under Vista Ultimate x64. Simple applications crash as soon as one moves the mouse onto their window. More complicated applications seem to work fine. Even the demo crashes if you move the mouse onto the splashscreen. If you leave the mouse outside the spashscreen and let it disappear, the demo seams to run fine.

Same here: Python 2.6, Vista SP1 32bit, wxPython 2.8.9.1 - as soon as the mouse enters the application (whatever that is, also the demos) - Python.exe crashes...

This may be the same problem as #10122...

Doesn't a bug that makes the product completly unusable in Vista or Windows 7 deserve a priority greather than "normal". It has been 5 months since this bug was reported.

I believe this is the same as #10203 and so should be fixed in 2.8.10.
