This is important to know. I've sometimes had the reverse experience. If I
pick from the combo box, it works. But if I type in manually it doesn't

I'm guessing a bug. But maybe it's one that can have a workaround. I saw

Most people working on this are still gone for the summer, and the semester
is just starting for me, with a LOT of work at my REAL job ;-)

I do not know the cause of your problem. Also, I can't personally test it
because I work on a Mac and not a Debian system.

HOWEVER...

Hearing your description, suggests that some kind of change to the selection
control bindings might help. When I get a chance, I'll try to follow this
up. Also, other people working on wxgrass will start to be back over the
next few weeks and might have some ideas.
