Hi Peter, I can confirm that using jaws 12.0.522, if I'm in the search box in IE8, the shortcut ctrl+down arrow to open the menu doesn't work. There are a couple of work arounds for this bug: 1. if there's no text in the search box, you can press tab to move to the split button, and then press down arrow to open the menu. 2. Whether or not there's text in the search box, you can use the jaws pass through key insert+3 before pressing ctrl+down arrow. Glad to hear that you've made FS aware about this, David. original message: Hi, does anybody else find that they can’t access the drop down menu when in the search box in Internet Explorer 8. Works fine with JAWS 11, just not 12. I’ve had this problem on a couple of computers. I’ve made FS aware. At the moment the only way to change the options is by going in to internet Options and changing it in there.
