Options not set properly on widget select elements if the global selector does not match

I'm also experiencing this issue with the latest recommended and dev releases. As well as 'search in the middle' not working it was also not using my custom placeholder text. I've reverted back to the previous version I was using (7.x-2.0-alpha2+13-dev) which is working fine.

The bug is that widgets do not receive the settings/options of chosen.
Problem was introduced with this commit https://drupal.org/comment/7876589#comment-7876589
of this patch https://drupal.org/comment/7861437#comment-7861437
The settings/options had to be applied for every matched select, but there are two selectors in the chosen js behavior.

Attached is a patch that resolves the problem, without duplication of code.

The correct fix.

Any plans to accept this patch?

@Dave Reid, excuse me for the annoyance, do you think it's a right fix?

I think it does although the way it is implemented as a var which is a function doesn't actually seem correct.

Just looking at the code, I don't understand why we can almost have a complete options object provided in Drupal.settings.chosen, and use that rather than having to 'construct' it every time.

It's because of 'width' parameter (part of options) which is calculated for every element separately.

So we were a little on the right track with having a function to get the options, but I improved it a bit more. All of the default options are not contained in Drupal.settings.chosen.options. I've tested this and it seems to work much better and helps simplify stuff that needs to be applied to every chosen element (like minimum width calculation).

Forgot inherit_select_classes...

Tested and committed #10 to 7.x-2.x: http://drupalcode.org/project/chosen.git/commit/3816a20

Thanks. Chosen is usable now.
