No, (at least not that I know of :-( ) what broke this behaviour was a 
patch last September, it was just that nobody noticed in between. In the 
meantime I had some private mail exchange with Matt Rice, how, after 
investigating the Cocoas behaviour in more detail, come up with an 
excellent looking patch. Expect to see some code change in this area in 
the near future, which not only resolves the combo box issue, but will 
improve the whole cell handling for table views.
