what application were you using when you couldn't get into the combo boxes?
If you use Office 97 I would say it is seriously time for an upgrade if you
can afford it.
I don't think JAWS does any serious testing with Office 97 anymore and I
doubt many other screenreaders give it much thought either. It is just too
old! Priorities need to be set somewhere as funds for research and
development are limited.

Subject: [jaws-uk] Jaws 9 and combo boxes
I've just tried getting into a combo box with Jaws 9. As I arrow down,
pushing the "say line" keys tells me it's item 5 of 19, say... but the
item spoken is the top one on the list.
No problemn with Jaws 7.0.
Also, sorry if this is a mess, but it won't read back what I've written
in Thunderbird, and won't read pages in Word 97.
So it's the usual sorry story...
