Lua extensions: selected item API for dialog dropdown widget

I have written following VLC extension script: Time. There is a [ >> PUT IN ] button that puts a selected text from drop-down list into the input field above and should also set the first empty item in drop-down list. This setting works while initiating dialog box also in VLC2 - please see the third option "top-right" in position drop down list there. VLC 1.1.10 works well with that. There has been made some changes in VLC 1.1.11 disabling this behaviour.

Here I have prepared a short extension script to test a drop-down widget:

-- "test dropdown widget.lua" --

function descriptor()
    return {title = "test dropdown widget"}
end
function activate()
  create_dialog()
end
function deactivate()
end
function close()
	vlc.deactivate()
end

function create_dialog()
	w = vlc.dialog("test dropdown widget")
	w1 = w:add_dropdown(1,1,1,1)
		w1:add_value("one", 1)
		w1:add_value("two", 2)
		w1:add_value("three", 3)
		w1:add_value("four", 4)
			w1:set_text("three")  -- <<< I suggest to use w1:set_text(3)
	w2 = w:add_button("Set to TWO", click_TWO,1,2,1,1)
end

function click_TWO()
	vlc.msg.info("[test dropdown widget] get_text: " .. w1:get_text())
	vlc.msg.info("[test dropdown widget] get_value: " .. w1:get_value() .. "\n")
	w1:set_text("two")  -- w1:set_text(2)
	w:update()
end

Dear developers, I would like to ask you to test a behaviour of this script in VLC 1.1.10 and VLC2 and to tell me your opinion. Please use also menu Tools > Messages to see actual text value and id value.

According to me, w:set_text( text ) and w:get_text() should work properly also with dropdown widget: w:set_text(id) to select a list item accorging to its unique id, w:get_text() to read text value of selected item and w:get_value() to read id value of selected item.

So, is it a bug report or a feature request that should be or will be fixed or implemented or no? Thanks in advance for replies.
