Hi Deb,
The only thing I can toss a guess at is the combo-box issue. After
pressing Enter do you use just the down arrow or Alt-down arrow? While
most combo-boxes work with just a press of the down arrow key some
require Alt-down arrow to actually open them. Then you can down arrow
through them. Otherwise using the down arrow initially is the same as if
you had made a selection and pressed enter. So the default action for
the enter key is then executed.
Hth,

I have worked for Citibank for almost 31 years.
During the last few, as employees, we have had to deal with an
application for time and attendance which is on line.
I have been able to figure most of it out; but, there are some flaws.
First, when I click on one of the parts of the application, it used to
make an audible click; everything else with it still does but this
particular piece doesn't so it is enabled but I do not know that
because the window has opened visually.
Second, when I try to maximize the screen, it freezes up sometimes but
doesn't at other times.
Third, and most annoying, is a problem with a combo box.
When I am editing my time sheet and want to insert a partial day
absence, I enter on a combo box on the correct day.
I am supposed to be able to arrow down in the combo box and find partial
day absence.
But, when I attempt it, it takes off and lands on an entirely different
selection without my having done anything.
I have to cancel out, go back to the combo box, and try again to arrow
down to my selection. 90 per cent of the time it throws me out to that
other place. I have tried using left mouse button when on the combo box
and that does work occasionally; but most of the time when I left mouse
it throws me out as well.
After working with IT they have finally decided that this time and
attendance thing is just not accessible and that is the way it is: end
of story.
So, do you have any ideas why combo boxes present problems for
Window-eyes. Do you have any thoughts or ideas about what things might
be at play here causing these difficulties?
