A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Let us say, dropdown (JComboBox) has following items:

ALLIGATOR
BEAR
CAT
CHEETA
DOG
ELEPHANT

Pressing 'B' from keyboard will select BEAR, but immediately pressing 'C' will not select anything. If you give couple of seconds and then pressing 'C' works fine and select CAT.

Once you are in CAT, pressing 'C' again quickly jumps to CHEETA.

So, only when switching to some different letter, we need to wait for couple of seconds before pressing the different key for the selection to work.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Please see desciption above for steps to reproduce.
