I have the following code:

@Html.Telerik().AutoCompleteFor(model => model.Student.TagString)
.Name("Tags")

    .BindTo(Model.Teacher.Tags)
    .AutoFill(true)
    .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 300px" })
    .Filterable(filtering => { filtering.FilterMode(AutoCompleteFilterMode.StartsWith); })
    .Multiple(multi => { multi.Separator(", ").Enabled(true); })

If I have the following "tags" (one, two, three), the user should be able to type "one" followed by a comma to indicate that she is starting a new entry. However, I am forced to manually select "one" from the drop-down to get the comma, and then I have to click back into the text box to type another value.

The odd thing is that the sample on your site does not behave that way. But I think I have selected the same options.

Ah! It just started working when I removed the Name attribute - posting this for posterity, in case you want to replicate.
