It's not a QComboBox feature, but a feature of QDialog.

Context menu events in Qt are propagated up the parent widget chain, as long 
as the receiving widgets ignore them. When the context menu event reaches the 
toplevel QDialog, it will show the whats this context menu if any of the 
widgets in question had whats this help assigned to them.
