No I did not mean this. The current bug is about selection issue in combobox. User can not navigate the combobox items using VO using the VO hot Keys and is always stuck on first element. Your change is fixing that error. What I am asking is why the same issue is not observed in JList. Current issue is not present in JList and user can navigate the items using VO in JList. The VO output is always like "1 of n" (n is number of items) and this is also an issue, but I can navigate properly. I think the logic would be similar to navigate in the children and it should not cause issue in one component and not cause issue in other. Also, I tried to navigate the items in Menu and I am able to navigate the items properly using VO keys + Up/Down keys. So the issue is not present there as well. I have mostly used SwingSet2 and demos from https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/examples/components/index.html to test these 3 components. I am just trying to find if there is something else done in wrong way in Combobox which is correct in JList and Menu. That may be the correct/better approach to this issue. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/4084
