Currently when you arrow around in a combo box without first expanding it, the combo box emits object:state-changed:focused; but it does not emit object:selection-changed.

This suggests to an AT that focus used to be elsewhere (i.e. not on the combo box) and that the currently-selected item has not changed.

Yes, an AT *could* figure out this quirk and present the newly-selected item, because WebKitGtk's AtkSelection implementation seems to be doing the right thing regardless of whether or not the combo box is expanded. (Thanks!) BUT it would be much nicer if the combo box also announced the selection change. :-)

(Mario: If this is a hassle for some reason, lemme know so that I can handle it in Orca.)
