Thanks for reporting this. I tried it out on OS X with my little 
RichText sample, where the widget is created with the default style and 
has no special event handling. The Enter key works as I'd expect - i.e. 
inserts a new line.

Do you perhaps have an event handler defined that you need to call skip 
on the event so that it's passed for normal processing?

Are you sure? It definitely seems to be available as Wx::WANTS_CHARS, 
with the value 262144.

If not, please report as a bug.
