multi select keypress select

[rs44]

I am seeing a weird behavior when I have a multi select and use the keyboard to select an item. If I use the mouse to select the items and get them as a string array, it seems to work. If I choose one item using the mouse, it also seems to work, and i get a String [] with one value in it. If I use the keyboard and select using the keyboard the value seems to be a String and if I try to get it as a String array, it gives me the name of the value parsed. below is sample code that illustrates the behavior.

If I start editing new, select Manufacturing as the product, check with my mouse Design Development and Qa. Then i click my See dept value button and i see [Design ,Development ,QA ,] which is what i would expect
If I change my dept selection to just design and then i click my See dept value button and i see [Design ,] which is also what i would expect
If I clear all the values and the start typing a D in the field, to point where is goes through the D options and selects them, like a normal select item. i leave it on Development, click on see dept value and I get [D ,e ,v ,e ,l ,o ,p ,m ,e ,n ,t ,]

Is there anyway to avoid this happening? Is there something I am missing that would easily correct this?

Thank you.

Remember to always post your product and full version, and if you aren't already testing with the latest patched version (see SmartClient.com/builds).

You should also try removing that explicit toString() call, at least when it's not necessary (check if the value is already a String). Older versions of GWT had issues with this kind of call (see FAQ) and perhaps even if you are using a newer version, it may have been reintroduced for some cases.

Also report your version of GWT (every time).

Thanks. I am using SmartGWT 6.0.20170522
GWT 2.7.0

I removed the toString() and it still has the same issue
Object product = values.get("product");
String [] depts = departments.get(product);

for (int i = 0; i < depts.length; i++)
{
valueMap.put(depts[i], depts[i]);
}

You should always try the latest build from smartclient.com, since new fixes for framework bugs are added into the builds we run nightly.

In this case, this issue was fixed on August 1, so you can just update to the latest and you should see things work as you expect.
