No. Please read the documentation for QCombobox:

If the combobox is not editable then it has a default focusPolicy() of 
TabFocus, i.e. it will not grab focus if clicked. This differs from both 
Windows and Motif. If the combobox is editable then it has a default 
focusPolicy() of StrongFocus, i.e. it will grab focus if clicked.
