Kendo-angular: MultiSelect: Backspace Key Does Not Delete Item

• Bug report

Current behavior

When the value array contains an element that does not exist in the list of options, pressing Backspace does not delete that item when it is behind the cursor.

Expected behavior

Pressing Backspace should delete items, regardless of whether they are in the options list.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

Check out the following example:
http://plnkr.co/edit/nu1MN6Bdt3gI51jqiBxJ

Two items are in the list: "Ping Pong" and "Baseball". Setting focus to the Multiselect and pressing Backspace deletes "Baseball". Pressing Backspace again does not delete "Ping Pong". "Ping Pong" is not in the options to select from, but a user would expect it to delete anyway.

What is the motivation or use case for changing the behavior?

Consistent behavior of the backspace key.

Environment

Browser:

• Chrome (desktop) version 62
• Firefox version 57

Any updates on this?

@lukelengl the issue is fixed in the latest version, please update the kendo-angular-dropdowns package and give it a try.

This bug is fixed, but now it does not display all of the placeholder text.

See the following Plunker: http://plnkr.co/edit/sla1BdMnursyihOVXqGv?p=info

Remove all of the tags. You will see the entire placeholder text. Add another tag. Remove that tag. Now the placeholder text is not entirely visible.
