Excellent :-)

If the list box is focussed (by, say, clicking on it with the
mouse) it won't transfer selected content to the textctrl
anymore. In all actuality it should be unfocussable ...

I tried that, too. I suppose the reason for that is that in
evt_key_down() we receive key events while the list box wants
some other event to make itself scroll. I've been unable to
find out what event it wants, though, despite looking. IMHO we
might get help from the wxpython/wxwindows people directly.

Anyone well-connected care to post that problem on their lists ?
