Yes agree, key here is the need for a selection action in a drop list widget.

Applying drop list attribute _without_ a specific selection action during
cursor or mouse-wheel navigation would be a very unreliable UI--it is not
appropriate either for UI elements or for DB fields.

Contrast that to a spin widget that increments/decrements and applies and is
appropriate UI.

This is a pretty clear WONTFIX
