Items are not visible in multi-select listbox in a static form

Hi,

I'm using adobe livecycle designer 8.0. I have a multi-select listbox, the items are hardcoded into the form. In runtime, some of the items are selected from the server side when the PDF is generated. If only one item is selected then there is no issue. When multiple items are selected, the list box is behaving as below.

If the PDF is static,

If the listbox is readonly, then all the selected items are visible (highlighted in red)

If the listbix is editable, then it appears blank. If you select it using right click, then you can see all the items and the selected items. But if you click again somewhere outside the listbox, then the listbox goes blank. If you select it using left click, then the previous selections are gone and the items are visible with the item you just selected.

If the PDF is dynamic, then the multi-select  is working fine.

Aren't the multi-select listboxes supported in static PDFs?

For your reference, I created 2 templates (static and dynamic) and populating the values using javascript in the docReady event. I'm using \n character as delimter to select the multiple items. Please find them at the below links.Notice the "List Box 1" in both forms. In static form, the values appear only after you right click the listbox.
