Dealing with seemingly blank combo boxes.

[Linux for blind general discussion]

I see this behavior on the Discover Banking website. Particularly when 
trying to download monthly statements. In my case, I can open the combo 
box, but cannot move among the various entries. My solution so far is to 
boot into Windows and complete the task using NVDA and Firefox. I have 
run into some other navigation issues on the Capital One website and 
again get around them using Windows.
Sorry I don't have a better solution.
