[Lazarus] Object Inspector odd behavior (ComboBox issue)

I'm afraid this is how Apple designed Carbon (intentionally i suspect
to force everyone to use Cocoa).
You can actually test by using Interface Builder. Create a window and
place a combobox on it. Add some items to the combobox and run the
simulation. You'll see that combobox is behaving in the same.

This is possible to fix, but it required some additional efforts, and
nobody ever wanted to fix Apple's bugs for them.

This bug doesn't present in Cocoa combobox. So it will be working once
Cocoa widgetset is mature enough, however it's still Alpha and almost
unusable.
