Maybe this is not going to be easy since that HTML is not valid. _There is no such thing as an input element with `type=combo` in HTML._ [https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/input.html#the-input-element](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/input.html#the-input-element) There is an Aria-role type, _combobox_, but that is not what you are dealing with. [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/checkbox\_role](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/checkbox_role) Your first action should be to inform the web page developers that they are producing invalid HTML. This is likely to cause problems when trying to run validation tests. This could hamper automation testing, too. That said… What happens to the DOM when you click on the dropdown? Can you capture a screenshot showing the changes?
