Could someone provide a link to bug 14320? I am intensely interested in the combo box topic. I have not found a single usable ARIA implementation. Occasionally, I find it "possible" to use one, but that is because I have fore knowledge ... too much of it. If the typical user were to attempt, success would be a matter of luck. I have been trying our example implementations with both JAWS and NVDA. Among the worse are those that have a drop down but the focus stays in the edit ... It's really confusing. If the user is scrolling through a list, the focus needs to be in the list. So, I disagree with the statements in the minutes regarding keeping DOM focus in the edit if the user is scrolling through a list. It would be useful to have a set of clear functional descriptions of each type of combo we are trying to make accessible with ARIA markup. Many different behavioral options exist. There may be some that can not be effectively addressed at this time. We need to make sure the most common and necessary cases are well-defined and that usable implentations actually exist. I think this is an extremely important role.
