Item8140: Values of checkboxes not submitted with validation enabled

With validation enabled the values on FORMFIELD elements of type checkbox are not passed on submit when mutiple checkboxes are checked. Only the first checked value is passed, so the checkbox field is cleared to be only that first value. Whith validation disabled all valued are passed ok.

Same here, even if validation is disabled.

I think that the checkboxes as the work in the current version (codebase 1.0.6) are just like bad radio-buttons this topic needs to be an urgent bug. I tried multiple times to get a second value from checkboxes, but it seems that only the first value of multiple checkboxes are submitted.

I have looked at this but the solution is not easy. I can't promise a quick fix.

I am in the process of a total rewrite of the plugin, and will take this as a requirement.

Did a bit of debugging. The line in the generated HTML source which causes this bug is this one:

<input type="hidden" name="FP_submit" value="[name of the form]"  />

Isn´t there an easy way to fix it?
