If I create an editable JComboBox in my GUI, the rendering uses MetalComboBoxEditor, which uses a JTextField.

This JTextField does not inherit any accessible properties from its JComboBox parent.

As such, when I traverse the focus into an editable JComboBox, once I get there, the focus is on a component (the JTextField) that does not have an accessible name or description, even though these have been set for the parent JComboBox.
