This is fixed for over two years now, so it's OK to remove the 
workaround.

This is where the problem is: only one <exstyle> element is looked at, 
it should read
<exstyle>
  wxWS_EX_VALIDATE_RECURSIVELY|wxDIALOG_EX_CONTEXTHELP
</exstyle>
Sorry, I wrote the instructions assuming you don't use <exstyle>, 
otherwise it has to be added to the |-delimined list of styles (the 
syntax is same as for <style>).
