This is the result of 'outline' being set to 'none' in the css (in
combo.css). It's common when doing a css reset to turn remove the
outline on links. However, as Alan picked up, this isn't so good for
accessibility. There are two ways to go about fixing this.

Option A:
Re-apply the outline after the reset. This would set a uniform style across all 
browsers.

Option B:
Remove the original outline reset. This would then use the browser default for 
active items.

I would recommend option B. This is a case where using the browser
default is a good thing. Some browsers signify that an item is active
with quite different styles and it's probably better to give the user
the feedback that they are used to (for example, compare the way Chrome
and Firefox do this). Looking at the CSS I can't see a particular reason
this is being reset, and removing this shouldn't affect anything else.

I can submit a patch for this, but I just wanted to confirm this
decision before I do...
