I don't see that when I press Enter, it behaves as I would expect: the dialog 
is closed immediately with no change to the data (with wx trunk).

What I do see, however, is that the Individual payment text entry in the 
background is updated as you type and so the problem is visible even here: 
neither OK nor Cancel have any effect, as the data are updated immediately.

The fix is simple, just don't apply this patch.

But I am truly baffled by this: TransferDataFromWindow() is apparently called 
after every change, but this isn't making any sense. It's what you'd want to 
happen on OS X or GTK+, where OK/Cancel buttons aren't used and every change is 
reflected immediately, but it's certainly surprising in the presence of the OK 
and, especially, Cancel buttons.

Vadim, do you have any idea what's going on here? I'm not not very familiar 
with this transfer mechanism (as is probably obvious, seeing as I didn't even 
think of using it initially)...

Thanks,
Vaclav
