The drop-down list cannot be operated with a keyboard. The window get closed after changing the value by keyboard - no further value can be selected.
The focus area (surrounded by dotted lines) of the down arrow in the drop-down list is incorrect. Try clicking inside a drop-down list, then hit Tab. Right now the focus area appears on the right side of the arrow and very tiny. Ideally the focus area should be a box around the arrow. This is also a separate issue.

There wasn't any keyboard control for combobox -> almost RFE ticket. I'll send patch and create design page soon. The actual behavior might be reviewed by UXD.
Master:
New behavior: Combobox can be controlled just by using keyboard.
When value list is closed, user can: - use UP and DOWN error to open list, it will focus the list and select previous/next value - when CB is non-editable, user can start typing, first character will open list, second will be entered into search input. Note: I wanted to copy the first char to the search box as well, but I did not figure out reliable method for converting keycode to char for non ASCII keyboard layouts - ESCAPE, ENTER, TAB keys are handled to allow keyboard operations in a container
When value list is opened: - CB tries to keep focus on either search input or a select - when focus is lost, the value list is closed. So user can click anywhere on a page to close it - two comboboxes can't be opened on the same time - hitting TAB key switches between search and select - if CB is not searchable, hitting TAB will close the value list and select input textbox - hitting ESCAPE on will close the value list - hitting ENTER on search input will invoke search operation - hitting ENTER on select will close the value list - hitting UP/DOWN arrows will select previous/next values
Additional modifications: - opening arrow and search button were made non-focusable. It fixes the 'wrong focus area' bug and simplifies keyboard usage. It doesn't affect mouse usage.
