Well, consider yourself lucky. "end", "page down", "down arrow", and "mouse wheel" all change form drop-downs here. Navigating the mouse pointer to the narrow strip of the scroll bar is a pain, as is evidenced by the invention of the "scroll wheel". And I use the mouse as little as practical (it is slow and cumbersome compared to keyboard methods in most cases of there being a keyboard method).

I have a distant memory of having to use Alt-Down to navigate a drop-down. I hope to make or find an add-on that moves back toward the navigation keys being useful much, much more often. I also hate that clicking on a Flash&trade component makes even more keyboard navigation impossible, especially Alt-F, Alt-D, and Ctrl-Tab.
