Description

In the Board Manager it is impossible to change the Type selection from the combo box when using VoiceOver on a Mac. Can't even change it with the mouse!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the Arduino IDE 1.x Board Manager on macOS with VoiceOver, focusing on the Type combo box and whether mouse selection also fails. Trace the Board Manager UI entry point and its selection handling; done means the Type selection can be changed using VoiceOver and the mouse.
