Description Michael Whapples 2010-06-09 23:24:34 UTC 
In thunderbird when a user gives a combo box focus then the content of the combo box is not shown. Using the below example I do the following:
1. I go to write a message in thunderbird.
2. If I use shift+tab to move to the addressee type combo box (normally default of "to").

Expected: Braille will show the content of the combo box as well as the word combo for control type (when showing "to" in the combo this would be shown as "to combo" in Braille).
Actual: Braille only shows the following (without quotes), " combo".

I observe this with a recent orca build from git, it does not show up with orca 2.30.1.

While my example is for addressee type, other combo boxes I think show this bug (eg. the combo boxes within the search dialog).

Confirming and taking.
Comment 2 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2010-06-10 09:12:00 UTC 
This is a regression resulting from my fix for bug 618806 (WhereAmI in Thunderbird presents the full message text when a message is editable). In that fix, I introduced a new formatting.py to Thunderbird. Before we were always falling back to the Gecko formatting.py; now we're not. Fix forthcoming after I test a couple more things.

I have just committed a fix to master which solves this problem for me. It's been tested to be sure that it doesn't impact the fixes which the new formatting.py provided.
