[orca-list] Orca problem in combo boxes.

[balaram <balaram orca gmail com>]

Hi list,
This time it's about Orca not been able to read anything in combo boxes
in web pages.
When I tried to create an account in Gmail, I had to be really
disappointed with orca not being able to read anything in the question
selection combo box.
This is in Ubuntu 9.04 with orca 2.26.
This was not so with ubuntu 8.10.
Why these heart breaking insidents occures with 
upgradation of Ubuntu and Orca?
Is there any work around for this problem?
Your suggestions are much appreciated.
RGDS,
P. Balaraman.
