Hi Flor,
I have Firefox as my default browser on my home computer, it was on FF that
I first noticed the problem. Tried IE 64 bit with similar result. I only
have Jaws 15, but have tried it using NVDA. Have tried the usual restarts
and the like.
What I find is when I initially enter and ALT down-arrow on the Combo, in
Firefox it states "read only edit". When I tab away and tab back, it has an
entry. Example: Country of residence: random selection: "Albania" as I arrow
down, it continuously repeats "Albania". If I tab away and tab back, the
country has changed. Example: "Denmark".
This occurs with both Jaws and NVDA, although I wouldn't be used to working
with NVDA. The difficulty is that the form I am attempting to fill in must
be completed in a certain number of minutes or it refreshes.
I believe it may be a specific type of form, or there is some security
feature applicable as I am able to access combo boxes on other sites
without difficulty.
Regards
Louis

Hi Louis,
What browser and version? If Internet Explorer, have you tried Firefox
instead? have you any earlier JAWS version you could use?
