Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Windows
• Amulet v0.8.12

Currently it seems that the best action is just to block these key presses.

The issue is due to a conflict with the menu system and the widget.

I have been discussing it in this forum post https://discuss.wxpython.org/t/menubar-spinctrl-and-copy/35968/10

and opened this bug report on the wxPython repo https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix/issues/2148

What type is the control that has the focus? I'm working on a fix, but that's currently only for spin controls. ( https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/22397 )

I can't reproduce the issue in ComboBox or SearchCtrl in WxPython 4.1.1. I can only reproduce it in SpinCtrl

@qmagnet are you still getting this issue in the namespace and block name fields?

That sounds reasonable. SearchCtrl and ComboBox inherit from wxTextEntry and therefore have a method MSWShouldPreProcessMessage checking for the special keys: https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0/classwx_search_ctrl.html https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0/classwx_combo_box.html

SpinCtrl on the other hand does not, it just uses/creates a Windows text ctrl internally. https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0/classwx_spin_ctrl.html

As workaround, you could use the method outlined in the discuss thread. (Unfortunately, it does not help to add MSWShouldPreProcessMessage on the Python side.)
