Actually what you describe is the correct behavior of repeat.
If you look at the W3C XForms spec, it says that repeat will render the
nodeset which satisfies the XPath selector.
How many boxes do you expect to render?
One solution is to change the getter method for the languages property, so
that it pads the array with blank entries to match the value of
descriptionsNumber if the array's current size() is less than that of
descriptionsNumber .
