I was not tested this under Cygwin. But the wrong list behaviour I got is appearing only in dialogs. I am not getting this in the gitk: there are many drop-down menus in the main window. All of them are disappearing once I depress the mouse button no matter where the cursor is. So this issue can be dialog-specific, but I believe that the main window and dialog windows are handled by Tcl/Tk on the same footing. Thought, I do not 100% sure.

I think this would be the last hope. I will try to understand the problem a bit deeper first.

Thank you!
