OK, I will try to find the other workaround, but I have no Mac OS
X at hand (they are a bit expensive to me), so I hope you will find
some time to test the new approaches, if I will come up with any.

That's fine.  I'd be happy to retest something.  If I understood your
problem description right, this bug doesn't appear on either Cygwin's
Tcl/Tk implementation or my Mac OS X implementation.  Maybe this
is one of those things that we just have to do conditionally per OS.

I was not tested this under Cygwin. But the wrong list behaviour I
got is appearing only in dialogs. I am not getting this in the gitk:
there are many drop-down menus in the main window. All of them are
disappearing once I depress the mouse button no matter where the
cursor is. So this issue can be dialog-specific, but I believe that
the main window and dialog windows are handled by Tcl/Tk on the
same footing. Thought, I do not 100% sure.

If that's the case, maybe we should also consider making our own
local variant of tk_optionMenu (a wrapper of sorts) that sets our
font_ui, and does this grab fix on your platform.

I think this would be the last hope. I will try to understand the
problem a bit deeper first.

Thank you!
