On Focus Question

Hi,
I'm looking at 3.2.1 On Focus
When any component receives focus, it does not initiate a change of context. (Level A)

Here's what I'm thinking. If I press an arrow key while focus is in a drop down, focus does go to another list item, and the page does change before I get to pick the item I want. In that situation, this is a violation. If instead, I get focus to the box and press Alt + Down Arrow, I can scroll through the box at will and pick my choice. Then, I can tab out of the box and that initiates a change on the page. My question is this. Is this only a violation because I may not know that I can use Alt + Down Arrow, or is it a violation for some other reason. I realize that in a normal Windows dialog box, plain arrow keys don't initiate a change.

Thanks.

Jim
