JAWS-test
commented
1 year ago There is no other way as long as JAWS uses the ESC key to exit forms mode. Since most JAWS users probably got used to ESC to exit forms mode and thus always have to press ESC 2x in such cases (not limited to the select-only combobox), I would rather be in favor of accepting the bug in rather than abolishing ESC as JAWS key to exit forms mode

Summary
Expected result
With or without JAWS running, the drop down should close.
Actual result
When JAWS is not running, the drop down will close.
When JAWS is running, hitting the escape key throws JAWS in to virtual cursor mode but does not close the drop down. Hitting the 'Esc' key a second time does then close the drop down.
