[Solved] Bug in AutoComplete ComboBox when Selecting Multiple Values by Mouseclick

[Ben]

I discovered this bug when I was implementing the AutoComplete control. This bug is easily reproducible on the Telerik Autocomplete Demo page. Steps to reproduce the bug:

1. Go here: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/combobox
2. Scroll down to the autocomplete box and make sure the "allow multiple values" checkbox is checked.
3. Type the letter "c" and hit "enter" to select the first option ("Chai").
4. Type the letter "c" again and USING THE MOUSE click on any other option.
5. Result: selected options are duplicated
6. Additional selections multiply the duplication by 3x, 4x, etc.

Step 4 must be done using the mouse. If you use the keyboard and hit "enter" the values do not duplicate - it's only when selecting the second value via mouseclick. This bug is present in IE8, Firefox 9 and Chrome 16.

I did try to submit this bug to the PITS area but the submission isn't showing up on the "new issues" page and I have no idea if my feedback was actually received.
