If you use the backspace key to delete an element in a multi-select box, that element doesn't go away like it would if you clicked the 'x'.  Instead it is converted to text with an additional space at the end that you have to backspace through to get rid of.  Is this intended?  Would be nice to have an option to disable it if that is the case.
