Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create an application that is tall enough to cause the page to scroll
2. Add a ComboBox with some items in it
3. Set wmode=transparent or wmode=opaque
4. View the page in Internet Explorer
5. Open the dropdown and use the Up/Down arrow keys to navigate items

You can view a sample here: http://rphelan.com/flex/scrollingBug/

Actual Results:
The entire page scrolls up and down in addition to the selected item changing in the ComboBox

Expected Results:
The browser should not scroll if the ComboBox has focus. This works correctly if viewed in a browser other than IE, or if wmode is not set.

Workaround (if any):
None.
