It's a bug I would very much like to fix as I want to do something 
similar to what you describe in my own app. But I suspect it's a 
wxWidgets problem, and haven't got around to writing a C++ test case to 
find out.

As a workaround you could use evt_child_focus, which definitely does 
work on OS X. You cna use get_window to see what child received focus, 
and if you track what the last focus was, you could see when the CB lost 
focus.
