It should.  Maybe it is having a problem with the fact you are using the 
right mouse button to do the DnD.  (Right buttons are a 2n'd class 
citizen on Macs.) Try switching to the left.  You should be able to 
detect the difference between a left click and a left drag without too 
much trouble.  Just make sure that you don't start the DnD from the left 
down event, but rather set a flag and then wait for motion events.  If 
the drag goes for more than a few pixels before the left-up then you can 
start the DnD from there.

IIUC there wasn't a native widget that had enough wxComboBox-like 
functionality so it was emulated using a textctrl and a popup menu. 
There is now a native widget but the work hasn't been done yet to switch 
over to it for some reason, maybe there is still something lacking with 
it on 10.3 or something like that.
