WHat I do is type in my status or comment with VO off….get to the combo box…it's not a combo box…it's really an edit box but vo recognizes it as a combo box…then turn vo off and type…..or also what I do for a work around is to type what I want in text edit, copy it, then paste it wherever, EG status or comment.
