I am very happy because MultiSelect is fixed, but now I can't get the selected values, it always returns the initial selection set with 'value' argument. Thanks in advance.

Can´t get selected values from MultiSelect in 0.11.1

Hi,
I am afraid you will have to be more specific (e.g. provide some actual code to investigate). I just tried the following code on OS X / Safari and it worked as expected (screenshot also attached below, showing browser console output after making several selections):
from [bokeh.io](http://bokeh.io) import output_file, show
from bokeh.models import MultiSelect, CustomJS
ms = MultiSelect(title="MS", options=["foo", "bar", "baz", "quux"])
ms.callback = CustomJS(code="""
console.log(cb_obj.get('value'))
""")
output_file("ms.html")
show(ms)
If this code does not work for then more information about your platform and browser will be needed as well (it’s actually always a good idea to just always include this information in any kind or issue report or question from the very start).

It is shown correctly
Then i have a commit button, here is what i do in the on_click callback:
value = self.letters.value
print(“Options are: {}\nSelected values are:\n{}”.format(self.letters.options, value))
and the output:
it always returns the initial selection. I am using Windows 8.1 Pro with Firefox 42.0 and IE 11.0

Please see the following link: Issue #3871 on the Bokeh Github. The issue seems to have been resolved through PR 3873 and will be added to version 0.12.
