Hi Team,

I would like to request a built-in functionality to have the Kendo UI MultiSelect to select and deselect all items.  Perhaps a checkbox or specific button within would be great.

Thank you!

Bug report

If the MultiSelect open event is prevented, the animation container has display:block style, blocking inputs beneath the MultiSelect

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open this example - https://dojo.telerik.com/EqOSOReM/38
2. Type something in the MultiSelect and blur, without selecting an item.
3. Focus the MultiSelect again
4. Try to focus the input beneath

Regression introduced with 2022.2.621

Workaround: manually hide the animation container - https://dojo.telerik.com/EqOSOReM/38

Current behavior

The k-animation-container has display:block style, preventing the input beneath it from being focused

Expected/desired behavior

The k-animation-container should have display:none style.

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2023.1.117
• Browser: [all]

Editor components like the pickers, textboxes, etc. use an internal <input> element while submitting to get their value from. This value shows up in form.serialize() even when no value selected/provided.

Bug report

In IE 11, MultiSelect with autoClose:false does not prevent the popup from closing. The widget has to be placed at the bottom of the page, so that there is no space for the popup to open below the input field.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open this Dojo example.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the page.
3. Start selecting items until the tags do not fit the input field.
4. When the input's height expands, the popup closes.

Current behavior

The popup closes when the height of the input field expands to fit tags on a new line.

Expected/desired behavior

The popup should remain open.

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2020.1.219
• Browser: [Internet Explorer 11]

Bug report

If you filter the MultiSelect and then blur it, a read request occurs that retrieves all the data. Then, if you open the MultiSelect, another read request triggers with the same data as response

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open the Server Filtering Demo - https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/multiselect/serverfiltering
2. Open the DevTools network tab and type some text to filter the data, e.g. "Cha"
3. Select an item from the filtered data and blur the input - a read request occurs that returns the entire data.
4. Open the MultiSelect again - the same read request with the same data occurs.

Current behavior

Duplicated read request occurs when you blur and reopen the MultiSelect

Expected/desired behavior

No duplicated read requests should occur.

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2022.3.1109
• Browser: [all]

Bug report

When the value of the widget is set in the dataBound event handler the filtering events is fired and e.filter is undefined

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open the Dojo
2. Open the browser console and type something in the MultiSelect to filter the data.

Current behavior

The filtering event is fired a second time and the second time the e.filter is undefined.

Expected/desired behavior

Double-checlk if the filtering event should be fired a second time.
The e.filter and e.sender.dataSource.filter().filters[0] should return the same value.

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2022.3.1109
• Browser: [all ]

Bug report

An error occurs when filtering the MultiSelect with grouping enabled.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open this Dojo example - https://dojo.telerik.com/IJErEZiD
2. Open the MultiSelect and scroll down a bit.
3. Type "w" so that the No Data Template would appear.

Current behavior

An error occurs on the browser console.

Expected/desired behavior

No errors should occur when filtering the component.

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2022.3.913
• Browser: [all]

The documentation for the Kendo UI MultiSelect widget states that the user can highlight the next/previous item using RIGHT/LEFT when the selection popup is closed. This works as expected. However, if the user then presses TAB and moves the focus somewhere else, the item remains highlighted.

Since the highlight only indicates that certain actions can be executed on the item, it should be removed in such a case as the actions are no longer executable. This can easily be reproduced with the keyboard navigation sample:

• Select a few items
• press LEFT
• press TAB

Bug report

The "aria-setsize" attribute is missing when initializing a MultiSelect with default selected values in AngularJS

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open this Dojo and run it
2. Right-click on one of the initially selected items in the MultiSelect.
3. The selected DOM element will be a "li" tag
4. Select a new item in the MultiSelect and watch how the definition of the "li" tag will change
5. When selecting a third element in the MultiSelect. All the three "li" tags will receive an aria-setsize="3" tag, which wasn't presented for the default selected values

Current behavior

When initializing a MultiSelect with default values, the aria-setsize attribute is missing for these values.

Expected/desired behavior

The default MultiSelect values should have an aria-setsize attribute added to their selected values

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2019.2.619
• jQuery version: x.y
• Browser: [all]

Bug report

Currently, the MultiSelect input does not have a placeholder attribute in its rendering. This leads to inconsistency with the other input components such as AutoComplete and ComboBox.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open the Dojo example and inspect the rendering of the two components.

Current behavior

Currently, the MultiSelect 'input.k-input-inner' element does not have a placeholder attribute. As a consequence, the color of the placeholder is slightly different than the rest of the input widgets.

Expected/desired behavior

The MultiSelect widgets should have a placeholder attribute in order to be consistent with the rest of the widgets such as AutoComplete and ComboBox

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2022.2.510

Bug report

When MultiSelect is used inside Grid columns filter, it is closing immediately after clicked in the MultiSelect filter input.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open the Knowledge Base article - https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/knowledge-base/multiselect-used-for-column-filtering
2. Click on the 'Name' column filter icon to open the filter popup.
3. Click in the MultiSelect input filter.

Current behavior

The filter popup is closing first time when clicked. Next time when the filter popup is opened it is not rendered properly.

Expected/desired behavior

The filter popup should not be closed when clicking in the Multiselect filter input. The MultiSelect list items should be rendered below the filter input.

The issue is a regression introduced in 2022.1.301 with the following commit telerik/kendo@bb73744

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2022.2.512
• Browser: [all ]

Bug report

When there are items selected in the MultiSelect and the close icon is clicked the popup is opened for a moment

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open the Demo - https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/multiselect/index
2. Click the close icon in the first MultiSelect

Current behavior

The popup is opened for a moment

Expected/desired behavior

The popup should not get opened unexpectedly.

The issue is a regression introduced in 2022.1.412 version with the following commit - telerik/kendo@7953a90

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2022.2.512
• Browser: [all ]

The multiSelect supports several keyboard shortcuts as documented in https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/multiselect/keyboard-navigation. However, when e.g. a KeyDown event is triggered (and handled) by the widget, its propagation is not stopped. This behavior can be witnessed in this DOJO.

In our case, we e.g. use multiSelects inside dialog windows that can be closed via ESC. When pressing ESC while a multiSelect is focused and open, this not only closes the multiSelect (as expected), but also closes the dialog.

The multiSelect should stop the propagation of events that it handled.

Hi Kendo Team,

After updating to version 2022.1.301 we noticed that the multiselect fields would look broken in some situations.

If the text of a selected item is longer than the line, the text of the new 'chip' will break into a new line.
The chip itself though keeps its fixed height of 24px resulting in an unreadable entry. (see attached image).
This only seems to be an issue in less themes.

We managed to reproduce this behavior in a dojo: https://dojo.telerik.com/ERaQegEc

You can see that in the second field we managed to fix this by modifying the styles of k-chip:

.k-chip {
    line-height: 17px;
    min-height: 24px;
    height: auto;
}

Thanks,

Markus

Bug report

Reproduction of the problem

Dojo example.

1. Type in "f" in the MultiSelect's input area. It is filtered and shows 2 items in the list.
2. Press "Ctrl + A" keys. The two items are selected.
3. Clear the text in the input. The list is populated with all items in the dataSource.
4. Press "Ctrl + A" keys again

Current behavior

All items are selected, but the first two ("Chai and Chang") are not highlighted as selected.

Expected/desired behavior

All items should be selected and highlighted as selected.

Hello ladies and gentlemen.

Readonly mode does not work correctly in Bootstrap 4 Theme.

If the MultiSelect is put into readonly mode programmatically and has a value and clearButton option is true - clear button is displayed and the value can be cleared.

In Angular we want to lazy initiate the options of a multiselect. After angular loads the multiselect directive, the control does not react on changing the k-options variable. If I recall, it should be solved when the control supports the setOptions method, like Kendo UI Grid.
