http://java.net/jira/browse/MACOSX_PORT-645 submitted 2011/11/03 by Pete Brunet

.SUMMARY
When focus is gained on a non-editable combo box VoiceOver reads the label and role but not the value of the combo box.
.STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start VoiceOver (Command F5), using default settings, e.g. the VO cursor tracking the focused control.
2. cd ~/OpenJDK/macosx-port/build/macosx-universal/
3. bin/java -jar /Library/Java/Demos/JFC/SwingSet2/SwingSet2.jar
4. Press the tab key until focus is on the fourth button (Combo Box demo).
5. Press the space bar to activate the Combo Box demo.
6. Press the tab key repeatedly until focus is on the first combo box.
.RESULTS
VoiceOver doesn't read the contents of the combo box, i.e. "Philip, Howard, Jeff".
