DETAILS: I am a new user. I downloaded setup.exe and setup.wXX then ran the install program. It prompted me for disk two which puzzled me. There was no obvious solution.
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)

WORKAROUND: be sure and close the properties box every time before switching to a new dialog... this might be hard to remember as the properties box does not stay in front of the dialog editor........ as I feel that it should

DETAILS: Around line 1234 or the common/docview.cpp file following code exists...
if (!theTemplate)
theTemplate=templates[FilterIndex] ;
The problem is tat FilterIndex is one based and the templates array is zero based. The correct
thing might be to use FilterIndex-1 as the index. Else the following scenario will
cause a crash.
1. Use the docvsmdi example
2. Bring up the file open dlg.
3. Select Files of Type "Text"
4. c:\autoexec.bat for file name
5. Press okay and you should see
the crash.
I understand that it is very
hard to figure out the template
when the user does not select
one of the known extensions but
this simple fix might atleast
avoid the crash....
I started playing with wxMSW
just this morning and have not
yet figured out exactly how to
submit a fix. I atleast wanted
to report it. Besides what I do
for the MSW might not be correct
for the other platforms :-)
Note from JACS: fixed (I hope) by making m_filterIndex
zero-based in MSW wxFileDialog implementation
(it's zero-based in wxGTK/the generic dialog).

DETAILS: I tested wxWindows/GTK+ with a simple example which
uses frame, menu, and statusbar. But when I selected
a menu item which creates a simple 'about dialog'
several times, the program crashed with segmentation fault.
I traced it with gdb, and I got this message:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault
0x408f1796 in match_theme_image ()
from /usr/lib/gtk/themes/engines/libpixmap.so
I guessed from this message that the pixmap routine in
GTK+ theme engine caused crash. So, I changed GTK+ theme
to default which doesn't use any pixmaps and tested
