ComboBox: more choices/previous choices not spoken by JAWS

[Becky Gibson]

With JAWS 9 and Firefox 2, the more /previous choices entries in the combobox were spoken when they got focus. In Firefox 3 with JAWS 9 or JAWS 10, the more/previous choices are no longer spoken when they get focus. Also, the more/previous choices is not included in the number of list items. For example if you clear the edit field on the first combobox on the test_Combobox.html page, when you arrow down in the list box to the first item, JAWS 10 with Firefox 3 will speak Alabama, 1 of 30. But in this case there are really 31 items including the More choices option. I could live with the more/previous choices not being in the count but they do need to be spoken when they receive focus.

Hmm, well let us know if there's a local solution or if the design of ComboBox needs to be changed to, for example, have no "next choices"/"previous choices" entries in the drop down, ala #4108.

Although if that's the case it couldn't be done by 1.3.

Does this happen in the latest ​FF nightly?

Closing as fixed since this now works properly in JAWS 10 with FIrefox 3.0.10
