Thanks for your response. I actually never saw this demo before and it 
works perfectly. So, looking at it, i see the main difference between my 
code and the demo code is that i use an extended StyledTextCtrl, while 
the demo uses a direct instance of StyledTextCtrl. For testing, i 
trimmed my extended class as far as possible until the following code 
remained, while the problem still remained:

  class EditorPage < Wx::StyledTextCtrl
  end

So the demo uses

  @sci = Wx::StyledTextControl.new(self)

while i use

  @sci = EditorPage.new(self)

Note that this problem occurs on both, Windows XP and Vista.
