Office 2010 with UIA: Name for combo boxes in Options dialog are not announced #4056

Hi,
Names of combo boxes in Outlook 2010 are not announced. Specifically, when the user is focused on a combo box in Options dialog, the combo box name is not announced.

Steps to reproduce:

1. From Outlook 2010, press Alt+F, then T to open Options dialog.
2. From General category, go to the first combo box, which presents a list of color schemes for Outlook.
   Expected: NVDA announces the name of the combo box.
   Actual: Only the value is announced.

Technical:

• Navigator info says None for the name of the combo box, with the correct string for the value field.
• One can obtain the name of the combo box by pressing NvDA+Numpad 4 while focused on the combo box itself. This implies that the name of the combo box is the left sibling of the combo box itself.
  Thanks.
