First you activate Forms Mode on the combo box by pressing the Space bar.
Now the secret is to press Alt + Down Arrow to open the list of options.
Actually, it looks like a drop down list. It is now safe to Arrow Up and
Down through the list without the page refreshing. Pressing Alt + Up Arrow
will close the list of options and only show the selected item. On pages
that automatically refresh, it will happen at this point.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Refreshable Combo Boxes
Does anyone know how to handle those combo or list boxes that refresh the
page when you make a selection?
Example: choosing a country like mine Barbados and the first b isn't
baraine
and the page refreshes to that setting before I can make my selection.
I know there's a way around this, but I can't remember what it is. Please
help!
