It's possible that the web page refreshes when you select an item in the combo box depending on your selection. Some developers make the combo box to respond to user selection automatically. You can avoid this automatic behavior and check the list of items in the combo box by opening the list using ALT+DOWN arrow key. Forms mode is turned on if it is off. Arrow Up/Down through the list and once you are on an item to select, press ENTER or simply tab to the next element. Note that you should not use Letter navigation in the list, if you do so the first item starting with the specified letter is considered as your selection and the page refreshes.
