Jean-Luc,
That's actually a feature, sort of. An open selection allows you only
to enter custom *values*, not custom labels. We only support open
selection in autocomplete mode. In order for autocompletion to occur
properly, it is desirable that the use sees how the values he enters
match the existing values in the itemset.
So we have chosen to display the values only and to ignore the labels.
We could have gone in the other direction and shown the labels, but
then you as a developer must ensure that the labels match the values.
Alternatively, a possibility would be to actually display the label as
well in the list.
We are not too happy about the current state of autocomplete anyway.
We would like to upgrade to the YUI widget at some point.
