Here are the relevant code fragments with comments added.

constant
 frmHtml = create(wxFrame,{Win,-1,"DMAK - documentation"}),
 pnlHtml = create(wxPanel,{frmHtml}),
 boxHtml = create(wxBoxSizer,{wxVERTICAL}),
 winHtml = create(wxHtmlWindow,{Win})

set_sizer(pnlHtml,boxHtml)
set_size(winHtml,win_width,win_height)
add_window_to_sizer(boxHtml,winHtml,1,wxGROW,0)

-- Win is the main wxPanel. It has a bunch of widgets on it.
-- winHtml is on top of Win, same dimensions and position.
-- Win is completely covered by winHtml.
-- So far winHtml looks good on both Ubuntu and Vista.

-- [.....]

procedure closeHtmlESC(atom this, atom event_type, atom id, atom event)
  -- code here
  -- closes winHtml on ESC, SPACE, or mouse click

end procedure
set_event_handler(winHtml,-1,wxEVT_CHAR, routine_id("closeHtmlESC"))
set_event_handler(winHtml,-1,wxEVT_LEFT_UP, routine_id("closeHtmlESC"))

-- Keys work correctly on both Vista and Ubuntu.
-- ESC and SPACE make winHtml go away, both Ubuntu and Vista.

-- Mouse click works correctly on Ubuntu but not on Vista.

-- On Vista, on mouse click, winHtml doesn't go away
-- and the Win widget or a part of it that is under the mouse click
-- becomes visible thru winHtml.
-- And the keys quit making winHtml go away.
