Again, is there *any* phrasewheel that works as it should ?
I do have some idea about what causes this behaviour (namely
parenting or size calculating not matching with what MacOSX
expects). It'd be a lot easier to verify if I had a working
and a non-working example to look at in the code.

There is one line which you might edit if you feel
adventurous to see whether it makes any difference:

gnumed/client/wxpython/gmPhraseWheel.py

change line (about 206):

        self.__picklist_dropdown = wx.Window(parent=self, style = 
wx.SIMPLE_BORDER)

into:

        self.__picklist_dropdown = wx.Window(parent=parent, style = 
wx.SIMPLE_BORDER)

That is indeed Mac behaviour. In fact, it depens on what
Window Managers in general think they need doing with
STAY_ON_TOP and FLOAT_ON_PARENT styles for modal windows.

Well, that's because editing isn't yet supported in 0.2.8
:-)   It is in 0.2.9, though.
