@marco@caneandable.social @TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space It's a mess. It turns out that wxTreeCtrl is a wrapper over the native SysTreeView32 on Windows, but implemented as a custom control on other platforms. Meanwhile, wxDataViewCtrl is a combination tree/table control that's implemented natively on macOS and GTK, but as a custom control on Windows.

    @matt@toot.cafe @TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space OK, that is wild! But it's definitely not the only problem I'm seeing with WxWidgets on the Mac. Many dialog controls are in a totally jumbled order, and many associations of labels to text fields or combo boxes don't actually work. So in at least two WxWidget apps I've used recently, it is a bit of a hit and miss when tabbing through a dialog which control is for which piece of information.
