David,
This is indeed the very first time I have encountered this phenom in my
many years of using WE, so it must be peculiar to the new browse mode. I
thought that WE was confusing a tree view with a combo box, but then
again, if this was something new, I was prepared to roll with it, but
like you, when pressing the right arrow, nothing happened.
I do still have the page open, and the letter options are still reading,
and it still says closed when I tab on and off of the box. I'm sure
someone on the list will be happy to explain.
It's good to know that I'm not nuts <smile>.
Take care, and have a happy 4th,
Larry

Since the new browse mode, I often hear the word "close", when arrowing
through comboboxes on different sites. Next time I come across this, I
will provide the site in question. What puzzles me a bit, is that
pressing the Right-Arrow, which would be natural when the word "closed"
was spoken - since it could indicate some kind of a menu-like concept,
nothing happens. Why would it say "closed", all the time things cannot
be expanded? And, is it possible to have an expandable combobox? What
would the benefit of such be? If none of this, WHY does it say "Closed"?
Never saw this under the old browse mode, but that might be coincident.

Hi there,
I'm just wondering if anybody has, or has had a problem getting combo
boxes to speak when arrowing through the letters on the BARD site. In
order to know what letter I am on, I have to tab down to the go
button, then tab back up, where I hear the letter as well as the word
"closed."
This probably has a simple answer, but I have tried everything I can
think of to try, pressing enter, doing the old trick of pressing
alt-up or down arrow, space bar, but nothing seems to work toward
letting me arrow through and hear each letter spoken.
Using WE 9.4 and Windows 10.
Thanks,
Larry
