Thanks, Andre. The next time I'm at a combo box, I'll try spacebar to get in and escape to get out. As you know, there are different kinds of combo boxes that behave differently with JAWS.

The worst issue Ihave with Chrome is that it is slow. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt via Jfw Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2015 7:32 AM To: The Jaws for Windows support list. Cc: Adrian Spratt Subject: RE: Chrome and combo boxes Alt-down arrow does nothing as a first key combination in the combo box I just tried. It doesn't work until I first press enter. I handle combo boxes by habit, so I can't be sure of this, but I think I always have to press enter first and then alt-down arrow. I'll be curious how anyone using Chrome handles combo boxes. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ann Byrne via Jfw Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2015 8:25 AM To: The Jaws for Windows support list.

Probably not, but it's worth a try??? (LOL) At 04:41 AM 11/11/2015, you wrote: >Hi. While browsing with Chrome, I'm having difficulty exiting combo >boxes while preserving my choices.
