Again, thanks for you reply, that was extremely helpful!!
OK, I did empirically determine how this works. OK, I get what qooxdoo
is trying to do here and I am all for consistency but come on...there
has got to be a point at which common sense takes over?
Since the SelectBox widget can only ever have a single value selected,
shouldn't the SelectBox object override getSelection() such that it
returns a single value only and not always a one element array?
Also, what is with calling a data value "Model" that isn't making much
sense to me either.
Additionally, making clear in the documentation the distinction between
a 'label' and the model property would be helpful. I suitable default
behavior like initializing the model to the label value upon creation
would also make an immense amount of sense, no?!
