Not a dupe since it affects a different package.

It seems that you are not using a software package provided by the official Ubuntu repositories (codeblocks 10.05-0ubuntu1~lucid). Because of this the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your particular bug. Please report this bug to the provider of the software package. Thanks!

To fix your problem you can either install codeblocks from the official lucid repository or rebuild your custom version of codeblocks against the latest version of wxwidget2.8 in Lucid.

I'm closing this report but don't hesitate to submit any new bug you may find.
