I don't think I've seen this, unless it's just the unfocused/focused 
selection colors.  That is normal for gtk widgets and can probably be 
controlled by changing system color settings somewhere.  If that doesn't 
appear to be what is going on then can you send a small screen shot and 
a sample app?

This is normal.  If there isn't room on the screen below to show all of 
the drop-down list then it will toss it up instead ;-)

That is an option that can be selected with a style flag, 
wx.TR_FULL_ROW_HIGHLIGHT.
