Cannot deselect additional editor

Hello,

I'm using version 1.0.4 and I failed to deselect
a user from the list of "Additional editors" in the options tab
of the 'New Content'-wizard. I could not manage to do
this because this user was the only user, which cannot
- once selected - cannot be deselected later on.

This is - in my opinion - a little bug. Though, I figured a workaround:
create a third dummy user with no permissions at all.

Don't hesitate to tell me that this is not a bug but my fault.

This is actually not a bug.  If you hold ctrl while clicking one, it'll deselect.  That's just standard browser behavior when dealing with multi-select boxes.

I guess we should have a note about that.  :)

Thank you, I see that there are things I have not yet learned though I'm a quite experienced user and a developer, too.

Instead of a small note, I suggest another solution: either checkboxes or a list with add/remove option. The current solution is not suitable because selecting a list item usually does not alter behaviour - only selected state. IMHO, selection should mean selected or not selected but no more than that (e.g. as in the folder views in OS).

This suggestion for improving usability is not an excuse for not knowing that little trick with the ctrl-key. (;
