Combobox Click raises Form_Activate Event

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1) Describe the problem.

Combobox Click always raises the Form_Activate Event, and it shouldn't AFAIK

2) GIVE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATIONS (if they are appropriate):

Version: TRUNK 3.1.1 
Revision: r4700 
Operating system: Linux
Distribution: Debian Squeeze
Architecture: x86 and x86_64 
GUI component:  QT4 and GTK+
Desktop used: Gnome and KDE

3) Provide a little project that reproduces the bug or the crash.

Attached

5) Explain clearly how to reproduce the bug or the crash.

Run the example provided and try to select one item from the combobox by 
clicking on it.
We are "monitoring" in the console the 'form_activate' event, and yes, it fires 
when selecting an item from de cb.

Why it shouldn't? The combo opens a popup that takes the focus and deactivate 
the form, so when you close the popup, the form is activated again.

Hmm, well I understand... it breaks some logic in a -not sure if well 
programmed- application. Perhaps its needs a redesign. Thanks and sorry for the 
noise.

No problem. I have the same problem, but this "Activate" event is a low-level 
event managed by the toolkit (and the window manager actually), and so it's 
difficult for me not to raise it for popups triggered by a native widget like 
ComboBox.
