MultiSelect - removing selected tag does not grab focus

Hi!

I have noticed the following behavior of the Kendo-UI MultiSelect widget (reproducible in this DOJO):

  1. focus the button
  2. click on the X button of the selected tag in the MultiSelect to remove it

-> the button is still focused

The user has interacted with the MultiSelect, so it should grab the focus. Since the tag is removed, I would have expected the whole widget to be focused instead. At least this is what happens when clicking the "clear" button.
