Using wxPython on Mac OSX 10.4, wx version 2.8.10.1 Python 2.5.2
I have a 5 BitmapComboBoxes (BCBs) on a panel. They allow a user to choose a set of 5 icons.
When you select the first BCB, that widget pops up its mini window showing the available bmp's and you select one. Fine.
To chose the next BCB unexpectedly takes two clicks. I assume the first click gets the attention of the panel, the second activates the BCB so the control's mini-window can show up again.
The extra click is awkward, and feels like an ignored click to the user. I guess the control creates a little mini panel, draws the bmp's on it, then one can be selected, but focus remains on that now-hidden mini-window full of bmps.
Can I do something to automatically bring focus back on the panel full of controls to save the extra unexpected click. I tried this in the event action for the BCB

Looks like the first click is shifting the focus to the combo ctrl, and that it doesn't launch the popup unless it already has the focus. (You can see the same thing if you have other widgets on the panel and one of them starts with the focus.) I'm fairly sure that is not intended behavior so please create a ticket for this in wxTrac.
Thx for looking at that and confirming that it shouldn't work that
way. Haven't tried wxTrac before, but will find it and open a
ticket ...
