I did test with a Window-Eyes multiple selection listbox, so perhaps that is different. In case the synthesizer selection listbox acts a bit differently than others (I forget whether it changes the voice with a new selection), it may be worth trying other listboxes as well. Also, if you can think of scripts others have developed that use a listbox, I'm curious whether the navigation experience is different.
