JDK-8061379 - [OS X Accessibility] JComboBox works very strange with Voice Over
Description
1) Voice over say: 
"to display a list of choices, press Control-Option-Space. But JCombobox doesnt expand on this short key. It expands on "Arrow down" key only.
2) Only Control-option-Arrow moves voiceover focus among items in combobox popup. Marked (selected) item on popup is not synchronized with VoiceOver's focused item in popup.

3)Only Control-Option-Space selects item, Enter and space do not select VoiceOver's selected item.

Tested on OS X 10.11.4

Not a regression. 
Platform specific - yes, OS X.
Comments
1) Voice over say: "to display a list of choices, press Control-Option-Space. But JCombobox doesnt expand on this short key. It expands on "Arrow down" key only. ptb: Space will also open it. ptb: This is a duplicate of the remaining issue of JDK-8061379. 2) Only Control-option-Arrow moves voiceover focus among items in combobox popup. Marked (selected) item on popup is not synchronized with VoiceOver's focused item in popup. ptb: Need to set up VO property: Be sure that the two checkboxes in the VoiceOver Utility settings are selected: 1) Keyboard follows VO cursor and VO cursor follows keyboard focus. ptb: Also note that once the list is open to use VO navigation need to first use control+option+shift+downarrow to interact with the list. 3)Only Control-Option-Space selects item, Enter and space do not select VoiceOver's selected item. ptb: Should work once VO setup is as noted for #2.
