Multidropdown in editable grid

Question

Multidropdown in editable grid is working weird. I have a multidropdown on a editable grid which is not allowing me select all the values what i want. The list on screen should appear until i click somewhere in the form instead i have to click the DD each time and then select a value. The selected values are stored in an array in a CDT which is correct. 
 is this the default behavior of Multidropdown in a editable grid/ any work around ?

What Appian version are you on? I've just confirmed that it seems to work expected for me at least in the generic example I was able to write quickly... 
 a!localVariables(
 
 local!colors: {
 "red",
 "green",
 "blue",
 "yellow",
 "purple",
 "orange",
 "brown",
 "maroon",
 "navy",
 "white"
 },
 
 local!rowData: {
 {
 id: 1,
 name: "first",
 colorSelections: {}
 },
 {
 id: 2,
 name: "second",
 colorSelections: {"blue"}
 }
 },
 
 a!sectionLayout(
 contents: {
 a!gridLayout(
 headerCells: {
 a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Name"),
 a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Color Selections")
 },
 
 rows: a!forEach(
 local!rowData,
 a!gridRowLayout(
 contents: {
 a!richTextDisplayField(
 value: fv!item.name
 ),
 /*a!textField(*/
 /*value: fv!item.name,*/
 /*saveInto: fv!item.name*/
 /*),*/
 a!multipleDropdownField(
 choiceLabels: local!colors,
 choiceValues: local!colors,
 value: a!forEach(fv!item.colorSelections, tostring(fv!item)),
 saveInto: fv!item.colorSelections,
 placeholder: "--select color(s)--"
 )
 }
 )
 )
 ),
 a!paragraphField(
 label: "DEBUG",
 value: joinarray(local!rowData, char(10))
 )
 }
 )
)
