Hello Doug, I am sorry I did not explain the issue properly.
In WE 7.5.4.1, and earlier, I could navigate to the first combo box and then switch browse mode off. I could then use the up and down arrow keys to select the item in the list I wished to use. I then use a tab to get to the next combo box and used the arrow keys to select the letter. ETC. With WE 8 beta 1 I had no control at all of the switch to browse mode or not: I got to the first combo box, selected the letter I wished and then tabbed to the next. At this point browse mode switched in again and I started at an undefined, to me point on the screen I could navigate to the combo box, but it was not easy. I hope this is of help.

From what you said, it should be that it works better in 8 than it did in 7.5.4.1. In 7.5.4.1 when you tabbed to the first combo box you would of still been in browse mode so you would of had to hit enter or hit ctrl-shift-a to toggle BM off in order to interact with the combo box. Now with 8.0 all you have to do is tab to the combo box and you can start interacting with it. Clearly I'm missing something <smile>.
