Description Duong Nguyen CLA 2008-03-05 18:59:45 EST 
When the value of the combo box is changed using the arrow up and arrow down keys, the new text is not being read. When you change it to READ_ONLY mode and use the arrow keys, the text is read when it's changed.

On Windows, the text is read twice when you use the arrow keys.

Hello,

I am facing the same problem currently. With RCP 3.x application and JAWS 18 (screen reader). JAWS will not read the changed text if we create the combo with NONE style. But the same will work fine if the combo is created with style as READ_ONLY.

I cannot reproduce this issue on SWT from master as of today, Fedora 29, and GTK3.24.
