it would definitely help to specify the version of GTK that you are using.

Ardour uses GTK+ and we (I, fundamentally) have been actively involved
in the OS X backend. We recently switched to the GTK 2.22 branch, and
the only problem we see at present may be the same as the focus issue
you mention: menus and occasionally buttons that do not get mouse
focus when displayed. I can't guarantee that the fix will come from
me, but I know that one of our commercial partners would really like
to see this fixed, so we do have some motivation to try to address
that one.
