The code for the country of residence combobox is correct. The <label>
element has a for attribute that matches the id attribute on the
<select> element.

The only way I can reproduce the problem you describe, is when I turn
the Virtual Cursor (VC) on/off manually (using Jaws key + z). Is this
the way you are doing it?
