Issue Summary
I have a content type that uses multiselect for three distinct fields within three distinct "steps", each of them with dozens of potential items to select. My users are trying to use the "plus" and "minus" buttons multiple times per page but are not able to...I can verify that both of those buttons seem to work only once each. I can double-click on items and they move between windows as expected and saving seems to work as well, it's just the icons that are failing (as far as I can tell right now).
I suppose the first thing to ask is, are those buttons supposed to work more than once per page load?
I've no real experience with Javascript (as a programmer) so I'm not really sure how to go about debugging this further; I'm not a big fan of seeing "Error on page" on any web page I develop so I would like to solve this somehow if possible.
On a related note, the plus/minus icons do not seem to work within Firefox on Windows at all ... no thorough testing on that point yet however, I can say ff 3.5.x fails on XP Vista, and Windows 7.

Yes, the buttons are meant to work an infinite number of times. I find it hard to believe that this isn't working on Windows. I haven't seen any failures in my testing. We also have over 1000 websites using the module at present, so that makes it pretty tough to fathom that they're not working. You may have some other javascript conflict going on with your site. Try testing with just a vanilla install of Drupal and this module enabled to see if the issue still exists.

No further discussion after a month. Closing issue.

Sorry for the delay, but this was NOT an easy thing to debug -- I have a lot of modules and this was a very complex content type. Anyway, the problem occurs when a CCK Field Group uses "Tabs" ... if any field group in my content type uses "Tabs" (http://drupal.org/project/tabs) then the javascript fails for the multiselect. If I don't use Tabs at all (I don't need to remove the module, just not use the functionality)
I suppose this could just as easily be a Tabs problem, I'll put an issue in there and cross-reference this issue.
