Moving around with the VoiceOver cursor (Control-Option-Right and Control-Option-Down) multiple select controls are simply skipped. If you tab to the control, VoiceOver say "HTML Content", but you cannot interact with the select control as a group (Control-Option-Shift-Down). If you press the arrow keys to move between the different options or press keys to select items, nothing is read. This is a problem in WebKit Nightly on Tiger and is a regression from Safari 2, which treated multiple selects as a sort of table. I cannot personally verify it, but it also a big problem in Safari 3.0.4 on Leopard. See the "Massive form oversight multi-select list boxes" thread on the MacVisionaries mailing list:

There appears to be no workaround for this.

This is a critical bug that is preventing the disabled from fully using websites. In some reported cases the disabled have been unable to apply for jobs because of this.
