Does it make any difference if, when in the combo box, you arrow down
very quickly, so that the item will not be selected automatically?

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Chrome; mostly works, But a Combo Box Issue
Hey, all.
Haven't posted in a long time; been finding I get most of my answers
by tinkering around, or by posting to Twitter. Anyhow, I have one
that's a bit long and has me a little stumped. Hoping someone can
help.
I am presently running JFW 14, latest build. Normally, I use Internet
Explorer or Firefox. However, I have run into a site that only seems
to work for me with Google Chrome. However, with that site, I am
having a minor issue. Anyone who knows me knows that I am the co-owner
of Mojo radio, an Internet radio station. The automation system we
use, live web DJ, currently only runs on Firefox or chrome. Where's
the problem with this? Well, when I try to run it in Firefox, Firefox
completely crashes about 90% of the time. It is the only site that
does this to me On a consistent basis.
For this purpose, I installed, and decided to test, Google Chrome. My
cited relatives use it, and absolutely love it. I have been very
resistant. On the site, when I am managing the media library in
particular, there are combo boxes. One box is for exploring particular
playlists; the other is for performing actions with the songs I have
checked off. Deleting, or adding to one of my many playlists. The
problem I am running into is that Unlike every other browser, I cannot
simply scroll through the combo box to select the option I want. It
simply selects the first option I get to when I down arrow. Yes, I
have tried alt plus down arrow to open the box, thinking that that
might allow me to read it. Works in every program accept this one. In
Firefox, I can scroll through, once I find the option I want, I simply
hit the tab key and it adds it to the specified playlist or asks me if
I really want to delete it Other than that, Chrome works flawlessly
with live web DJ. It doesn't crash, it doesn't hang or freeze… So,
anyone know how I can easily work around this combo box issue? Running
the latest builds of both JFW and Google Chrome as of yesterday.
Thanks.
Other option would be, does anyone know of a fix for Firefox so that
it it doesn't tank so easily? Again, running the latest version of
that as well. As I say, it doesn't freeze up too often on any other
site
