Steps to reproduce:

I have a problem is with a combo box which holds a history of regular expressions in a Java application, NVDA does not properly read the text for each entry.
As an example I have a Java application which I'm running with the Java access bridge enabled:

public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame fr = new JFrame("abc");
fr.setSize(500, 500);
JComboBox combo = new JComboBox(new String[] {"abc", "(<image[^>\\n]*)\\n([^>]*>)"});
combo.setEditable(false);
BasicComboBoxRenderer renderer = (BasicComboBoxRenderer) combo.getRenderer();
renderer.putClientProperty( javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicHTML.propertyKey, null);
combo.putClientProperty( javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicHTML.propertyKey, null);

fr.getContentPane().add(combo, BorderLayout.CENTER);
 fr.setVisible(true);
}

When I move the focus in the combo drop down list on the second entry NVDA should read "less than image square bracket....". But somehow it skips the content all the way to the first ">". So NVDA might to apply some kind of regular expression which removes what it considers to be "<tags>" from the content before reading it.

Actual behavior:

NVDA does not read the entire content of the "(<image[^>\\n])\n([^>]>)" value set on the label.

Expected behavior:

NVDA should read the label content as it is, as the label is not HTML aware.
