Hi,

I do not know if this is bug or not but I am not able to get multiselect 
widgets to work properly. I have this kind of lines in my table definition:

    Field('methodsA', type='string', 
requires=IS_IN_SET(['method1','method2','method3'], multiple=True, 
zero='<-- choose -->'), widget=SQLFORM.widgets.multiple.widget)
    Field('methodsB, type='string', 
requires=IS_IN_SET(['method1','method2','method3'], multiple=True, 
zero='<-- choose -->'), widget=SQLFORM.widgets.checkboxes.widget)

These correctly translate into select and multiple checkbox widgets both in 
my app and admin interface. They also correctly stores my multiple 
selections into the database (in form |method1|method2| etc.). However if I 
try to modify records later on the edit form does not show previously 
selected and stored selections. In form view it looks like previous 
selections were empty set! And if I submit the form without selecting 
proper list items again the form will store empty set into the database.

I made numerous google searched and found suggestion how this should be 
fixed: http://git.net/web2py/msg108396.html. The suggestion applies only to 
SQLFORM.widgets.multiple.widget and this small change hasn't been 
integrated into web2py source tree yet. Does this small change break 
something? This small change seems to fix selection issues in form view. Do 
I use gluon.sqlhtml.MultipleOptionsWidget incorrectly or is this real bug? 
If I am using this widget inappropriately could someone show me how this 
widget should be used. I am also curious to know how 
SQLFORM.widgets.checkboxes.widget should be fixed to make it work correctly.

I am using web2py version: 2.9.12-stable+timestamp.2015.03.19.06.51.11 on 
linux.

Teemu
