I don't believe there is a problem with subclasses of StyledTextCtrl. If 
you put your subclass in the wxRuby demo it still works fine, and I've 
used complex subclasses of STC in real code without difficulty.

So there is something else wrong in your program. Happy to try out a 
minimal runnable sample that demonstrates the issue - you may find that 
selectively removing elements from the frame may identify the source of 
the difficulty. My guess would be that some other widget (eg a Frame) or 
the App is being told to trap and not pass them on.
