drop down menu should not be associated with the default combo button

Description (last modified by Becky Gibson)

setting focus to the default portion (NOT the arrow) of a combo button and pressing the down arrow opens up the associated menu - it should not. The default action part of the button should act like a regular push button (activated via space and enter). Only the arrow portion of the combobutton should cause the menu to be activated.

Currently pressing space on the arrow part of the button does NOT open the menu and it should.

This also may be a regression due to the change to using a table to create the combo button. The drop down is being displayed when press space or enter on default portion of the button - it should only be dropping down with focus on the arrow portion.

I haven't tested this but looks fine to me; I assume Becky is going to check it in.
