"and the Whatsock designs don't work at all well in some cases. In one specific case, JAWS 2018 announces that the combobox has been set to a different value than has actually been selected."

Hi,
There are many possibilities which may be causing this confusion, not just the programming of the widget. E.G The purpose you are trying to use the combobox for, support level differences between browsers or screen reader bugs, or configuration settings available within the combobox widget that you may not be aware of.

So, when you get a chance, can you please reply with steps to reproduce, including the version of JAWS and which browser you are using plus the widget example you are testing? Also please explain the negative behavior that you are experiencing, which will give me a sense of where to home in specifically.

Thanks,
Bryan
