Oh that's right. I have seen the problem with entering on combo-boxes.
But it's so rare I can't remember the last time it happened. To me it's
worth the increase in productivity if I have to go back on the rare
occasion I hit one of those funky combo-boxes.
As for radio buttons? Enter toggles browse mode off, selects the button
I'm on, browse mode is toggled back on, and I arrow up/down once to
confirm. Again, it's just more efficient to me. And all of this is mute
if I'm tabbing through a form.

Tom

this is not always true.
some combo boxes will take you to another web page when you click enter
on them. you have to manually turn browse mode off and alt enter. then
you can get to all the options in the list.
with radio buttons you can press enter on them but w e will not tell you
if they have been checked or not until you tab away and back again. then
w e will tell you it has been checked.
aisquared has confirmed this behavior on all web pages that have radio
buttons.
if you have several radio buttons to choose from it will work better if
you go to the first radio button then turn browse mode off.
then you can arrow through the list and w e will tell you which one is
checked as you arrow through the list.

For what it's worth, you don't have to turn browse mode off on a
combo-box or radio buttons. I just hit Enter on a combo-box and then
Alt-Down. Hitting Enter turns off browse mode. On radio buttons I again
just go to the one I want and hit enter. Browse mode turns off, selects
that radio button, and then comes back on.
