Description
With JAWS Screen Reader when focus on elements select list and press alt + down arrow key to open list it says list is opened but after pressed the down arrow key to choose next option, cursor skips to next element on page, not to any options in select list. Weird thing is that it works when press up arrow key and starts from the end of select list.
After you focus to list and open it with alt + down arrow key, next down arrow key must choose first option from table while you are using selectric with JAWS.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with JAWS on a Selectric select list, focusing the list, opening it with Alt+Down, and pressing Down again. Trace the Selectric behavior at that interaction point; done means the first option is selected or focused with Down, while preserving the reported Up-arrow behavior.
