[orca-list] Combo Boxes

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

How are these supposed to work?

I can't seem to get the combo box in Pidgin off its default 'aim'
selection. How is it supposed to work?

On the other hand, I believe the combo boxes in Firefox should be
rethought. While it's convenient to simply arrow down to make a
selection, the up and down arrow keys also navigate page content. Thus
there's a significant risk of changing a combox selection without
intending to do so. I suggest two such important controls shouldn't be
on the same key binding. Thoughts?
