Description

Here's an example, of what doesn't work.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/10697/the-lenovo-thinkpad-x1-yoga-review/2

There's a combobox that you can use to navigate between the pages in the article.

Hitting f you get a hint on the combobox, but pressing the key combination results
in nothing. What's expected here is that the combobox expands, so that the user
can make a selection.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on the linked AnandTech page: press f to show a hint on the combobox, then try the resulting key combination. Trace the hint activation and combobox interaction from there. Done means the combobox expands and allows the user to make a selection through Vimium.
