Is that first combobox as standard HTML <select> or a custom control?

FYI, clear your browser cache completely before testing to avoid one of those scenarios that can put you through a nightmare. 😊

For some reason though, NVDA won't announce the items in the first combobox as you arrow through them. There are 2 comboboxes after it in the form, same code, and it does announce those. I have a few things to try, maybe one of my extensions is interfering, I've had that happen before.
