[JAWSLite] Re: jaws 7 & ie7 and combo box problem

Try pressing Alt-down arrow a second time right after you have pressed 
Alt-down arrow the first time in the combo box.  This usually unfreezes JAWS 
and restores speech.  This glitch exists in JAWS 8 and 9 also, but seems to 
have been fixed in JAWS 10 Beta 2.
