Expected Behavior

Narrator focus should move on to 'Default terminal application' combo box by pressing only 'one down arrow' key & narrate should read complete information of the combo box at once.

Actual Behavior

Screen Reader is taking 4 down arrow key strokes to read full 'Default terminal application' combo-box information in scan mode.
For ex : If 'windows console host' is selected.
-->In first arrow key stroke- narrator is reading as 'Default terminal application combo box collapsed followed by help text'.
-->In second arrow key stroke-Narrator is reading as '1 of 3' selected.
-->In Third arrow key stroke- Narrator is reading as 'Windows console host'.
-->In Fourth arrow key stroke-Narrator is reading as 'Microsoft corporation'.

Note :
1.Similar issue repro for 'Default profile' combo box present in 'Startup tab' & 'Language' combo box present in 'Appearance' tab- as screen reader is taking two key strokes to get complete information of combo box.

Start by reproducing the issue in Windows Terminal Preview with Narrator in scan mode, following the Startup and Appearance steps described. Inspect the implementation of the affected combo boxes and verify that one down-arrow key moves focus and reads the complete control information for Default terminal application, Default profile, and Language.
