No, that's not right. The comboBoxWillDismiss delegate method is
better, though it gives "false positives".
Consider this scenario:
1. I open the pop-up list.
2. I use an arrow key to change the selected item.
3. I press the return key to choose the item.
At step 2, comboBoxSelectionDidChange is called, but the text field has
not yet changed. At step 3, comboBoxWillDismiss is called after the
text has changed, though the documentation certainly doesn't make it
clear that the delegate call comes after the text change.
On the other hand, if step 3 is replaced by
3a. I click away from the combo box, dismissing the list without
choosing from it
then comboBoxWillDismiss is called though the text has not changed.

How can I be notified when the text of an NSComboBox is changed by
choosing something from the list? Oddly, my controlTextDidChange:
delegate method is not called in that case, though it is called if I
type in the field. None of the NSComboBox notifications or delegate
methods look appropriate.
