Popups have to float over "everything" so they are parented by SM and not the CB or the app. If you dispatch the event off the "owner" it will go to the CB and bubble up from there

I've been remiss in addressing my less-than-perfect understanding of Events and event bubbling. My custom itemRenderer needs to fire a custom event. I've spent the last day trying to get it to bubble up from my custom itemRenderer to the ComboBox, but no dice. If I add an eventListener in my ComboBox, it does not receive the event. However when I use systemManager.addEventListener("myCustomEvent",myHandler), suddenly I can receive the event. Is this the expected behavior? Why?
