Summary	0019271: Allow multiple separators or add an option that selecting an item in dropdown control doesn't set text content
Description	I am using one editable dropdown control in my add-on, which works similarly to the multivalue dropdown lists of the program like Artist in the Properties dialog box. However, my dropdown control has support for two different separators. Since your dropdown control allows only one separator, I needed to use some dirty workarounds to remedy this problem. The problem with such workarounds is that they are unofficial and, if you change something in your program related to these workarounds, they could be broken and unusable for my add-on. It would be nice if you allow any of the two suggestions in Summary: - selecting of the item in the list should not use setEditValue in this.selectChange function, or - allow multiple separators, e.g. using regular expressions. Or, make it easier for scripts to override the selectChange function, as it is the case with the handleDSModify function. It seems I could do that only when the dropdown list is expanded, which requires too much work, so I used another workaround.
