IE 9 probelm with click event in dropdown for multiselect

In Firfox the plugin is working like a charm.
In IE 9 when clicking in the dropdown for selecting an item is just working correct the first time in a multiselect.
When selecting the second (or further) item for multiselect a problem arrises: The current (first selected) value is overridden and the letters typed in are joined.

Example:
1. Typing e.g. "sc" into the input, the dropdown appears, click with mouse on "Scott Tiger". "Scott Tiger; " is copied into the item and the letters "sc" are cleared from the item. Everything is fine in IE 9 and firefox.
2. Typing e.g. "jo" into the input, the dropdown appears, click with mouse on "John Dow". Firefox is fine, the value "John Dow; " is copied into the item and the lettes "jo" are cleared. The item now holds the values "Scott Tiger; John Dow; "

Problem in IE 9:
The item holds the wrong value "John Dow; jo"

IE 9 overrides the already selected values of the multiselect and does not clear the typed in letters for selection.

Thx a lot for some hints.
