 Sorry, I'm afraid this is one of these things that Mac just does
differently, i.e. I believe that it sends accelerators from palette windows
to the parent by default, and I have no idea about how to convince it not
to do it, especially without breaking anything else.

 You probably need to track the key handling in wxOSX (setting
WXTRACE=keyevent may help to see better what's going on) and try to find a
place where the event handling diverges from the desired. Maybe this will
give you an idea about how to change it.

 Sorry but this is all I can say without spending (much more) time (than I
can afford) on this.

 Good luck!
