I have a combobox in a window, and I’m running this on OS X. When I  
click  
on the dialog button to drop it down, the toplevel that displays the  
list is  
behind the window (in this instance, the root window), and I have to  
click  
on the overhanging part to make it come forward. This can be an issue  
for  
users when there is no overhang, however (as they may not know that just  
moving the window containing the combobox will reveal the list window).

Any resolution?

Thank you.
