[JAWSLite] Re: still having trouble with combo boxes

Aside from pressing Alt-down arrow when you first open a combo box with 
Enter, there is probably nothing you can do to get them to behave properly 
and consistently in JAWS 7.1.  JAWS occasionlly losing speech in combo boxes 
is a bug that wasn't fixed until JAWS 9.
