Re: [orca-list] GNOME 3 - Setting Default Applications

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
If those combo boxes are anything like the ones in GDM, nothing is 
reported through normal keyboard navigation, but when you have selected 
an item and closed the combo box you can find out what is selected with 
the flat review keys.

This really should be fixed for standard navigation, but I don't know 
whether it is in orca, at-spi or elsewhere that the fix needs to be made.
