Ah, thanks. That is rather inconsistent, I wonder why left/right doesn't
work? Having used VoiceOver for a while it didn't even occur to me that
up/down would work for that (although in hindsight it's an obvious thing to
try!)

I've just sat through three usability tests with two beginner and one very
advanced user, and select-drop downs stopped all of them.

Thanks,
