Thanks.

That was it.
The following code worked for me.
( In defense of Qt, I am still using 5.7 )

class ComboEventFilter : public QObject {
     Q_OBJECT
     typedef QObject BaseClass;
   public:
     ComboEventFilter( QComboBox *cp ) : BaseClass(cp), boxp(cp) { }
   protected:
     bool eventFilter( QObject *op, QEvent *ep ) {
         if( ep->type() == QEvent::KeyPress ) {
             QKeyEvent *kep = static_cast<QKeyEvent*>(ep);
             if( kep->key() == Qt::Key_Enter || kep->key() == Qt::Key_Return ) {
                 boxp->lineEdit()->returnPressed();
                 // Stop propagation of event. Was reaching the top level dialog
                 // and pressing the default button and closing it.
                 return true;
             } else {
                 return QObject::eventFilter(op,ep);
             }
         } else {
             return QObject::eventFilter(op,ep);
         }
     }
     QComboBox *boxp;
};

class MyComboBox2 : public QComboBox {
     Q_OBJECT
     typedef QComboBox BaseClass;
   public:
     MyComboBox2() {
         ComboEventFilter *efp = new ComboEventFilter(this);
         installEventFilter(efp);
     }
};
