Not possible to escape effect/other dialogues on Linux?

[Gale (Audacity Team)]

On Ubuntu 9.04 in 1.3.7 Unicode repository version or CVS ANSI
Release, it appears impossible to escape effects dialogues (or others
I tried such as Labels or Metadata). Is this expected? I know Linux
has an accelerator for the Cancel button, but escaping dialogues
works in other programs I tried.

I have no idea what I expected, but I can confirm that I can't get out
of dialogues using the escape key, but in other programs (Evolution
email client at the moment) escape does the same thing as the X button
in the top right corner.

I'm surprised that this doesn't work by default with wx - from a look on
the web, it seems it matters which constants are used:
 http://rapidsvn.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=626

Does this mean we need to do a load of constant changing in the sources
to make this work?

Pretty much all of our dialogs use wxID_CANCEL already.  If I get home at a decent hour tonight, I can take a peek to see if there's anything obvious.

Wanna see something even stranger?  Bring up any of the dialogs that don't
escape and click somewhere in the dialog, either on the background or in
one of the controls (excluding the grid control).

Now press escape.

Hi Steve

Do you get that difference with CVS HEAD too (which i'm building with
wxGTK-2.8.10)?

Also, again in both the repository 1.3.7 and CVS on Ubuntu here, you
cannot tab or use arrows in the effect dialogues (even the built-in ones).
Without a mouse there is no way to change the settings. When you have
clicked in one of the fields, then you can tab between them.

Yea, I "think" it's a problem in wxGTK.  I've battled wxGTK focus problems before
and have never been able to find an exact pattern.  But, there's times where a
call to wxWindows:FindFocus() just returns NULL.

I've built the wxGTK samples and the same problem happens there, so it's not in
our code.  That's with the 2.8.10 version.

There is a way to circumvent it, but that would require us to have a Dialog
wrapper class that would ensure that at least one control is given focus upon
display.  Unfortunately, that's not a very attractive option.

Apologies, I misunderstood your original post. No it is not possible to
escape effects dialogues using the Esc key unless focus has been moved
to the dialogue (for example by selecting or changing a value).

Also can't "Tab" between buttons.

I see your point now - a real problem for VI and other no-mouse users.

Yes, I get the same issue with CVS Head (I'm building with 2.8.9.1)
