Issue with multiselect form helper.

[maxkunes]

Using the code below, when selecting all of the items in a multi select form helper, the visually deselect although the stetting gets saved. If I only select one or any amount less than the total settings in the box, it works as expected. No java script errors occur.

$packages = array(0 => 'Foo', 1 => 'Bar', 2 => 'Baz');

$form->add(new \IPS\Helpers\Form\Select('products_names_disable_multiple_quantities', \IPS\Settings::i()->products_names_disable_multiple_quantities, false, array('options' => $packages, 'multiple' => true)));

$packages = array(0 => 'Foo', 1 => 'Bar', 2 => 'Baz');
$form->add( new \IPS\Helpers\Form\Select( 'products_names_disable_multiple_quantities', \IPS\Settings::i()->products_names_disable_multiple_quantities == '*' ? "*" : explode( ',', \IPS\Settings::i()->ss_aep), FALSE, array( 'options' => $packages, 'parse' => 'normal', 'multiple' => true, 'unlimited' => '*', 'unlimitedLang' => 'all' ), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL ) );

Is this the expected behavior, or is this a workaround to an ips bug?

For usability purposes, you should be using the proper 'unlimited' prompts for users as suggested.

I question that that increases or improves usability at all. Do you have an example of the way you suggest?

We don't really use too many multiselects because some users find them confusing (if you can get away with a checkbox set that is a much better choice), but adding/editing an announcement is one area.
