Multiselect not rendering correctly, throbber always showing, lookups appearing above text field

[Ben]

This is for Kendo UI version 2013.1.514.340.

Here is my MVC view:

<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.7.1.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/kendo.web.min.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/kendo.aspnetmvc.min.js"></script>
<link href="~/Styles/examples.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="~/Styles/kendo.common.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="~/Styles/kendo.default.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

@using Kendo.Mvc.UI
@model List<CV.Prototype.ViewModels.MyRecord>

@(Html.Kendo().MultiSelect()
      .Name("categoryMultiselect")
      .DataTextField("Name")
      .DataValueField("Id")
      //SERVER BINDING
          .BindTo(Model)
          .Value(Model)   
      )

My controller is simply:
        public ActionResult Index()
        {

            var x = new List<MyRecord>
                {
                    new MyRecord {Id = 1, Name = "Name1"},
                    new MyRecord {Id = 2, Name = "Name2"},
                    new MyRecord {Id = 3, Name = "Name3"},
                    new MyRecord {Id = 4, Name = "Name4"}
                };
            return View(x);
        }

All the records display inside the grey boxes, but are not inside the input text box. Also the throbber is constantly displaying. Apart from this it functions correctly both with Server and Ajax binding. Any clues as to what I might be missing?

Hello Ben,

The latest release requires jQuery 1.9.1 and it seems that 1.7.1 is used in the project. Could you check if updating the jQuery versions resolves the problem? The rest of the code looks correct. If the problem persists, please provide a small runnable project so I can investigate what exactly goes wrong.

Hi Daniel,

I've updated jQuery to 1.9.1 now but it behaves exactly the same. I filed a support ticket (heard nothing yet) and supplied the solution. How can I upload the solution here?

Hello Ben,

I posted my reply in the support ticket. For convenience I am pasting it below and I have attached the updated project.

The problem seems to be caused by the styles used in the project. Could you specify from where they were added? I tested with the CSS files from both the trial and commercial packages(should be the same) for the version but the styles seemed to be correct. I attached the updated project.
