Weird Mac combobox issue with wxPython 2.8.9.2

I have an application I've been working on for several years. In
anticipation of my next release, I've been upgrading to wxPython 2.8.9.2.

It appears that the wx.ComboBox is having some troubles on OS X 10.3 and OS
X 10.4. Specifically, I can't type in comboboxes on these two versions of
OS X. The same code works fine under wxPython 2.8.9.1 on all 5 of my test
computers, and the code works fine under wxPython 2.8.9.2 on Windows XP and
on OS X 10.5.

Although I have not yet had time to work out the specifics, though, I don't
think it's quite that straight-forward. I wrote an ultra-simple combobox
app that worked fine where my regular application does not.

I use Python 2.5 on all of the computers involved.

It's going to take some work to extract and simplify my code to reproduce
the problem. I have other obligations this evening, so I won't be able to
get to it until tomorrow. So unless Robin has some genius insight, this is
probably just an FYI until then.

No bells ringing, or light bulbs lighting up. Sorry.
