Description

I have a <h:selectOneListbox> with underlying List:

List<SelectItem> mylist = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
mylist.add(new SelectItem("testvalue", "testlabel","testdescription"));

I want to show a tooltip over any option of a selectbox.
Therefore I tried two options:

1.

<h:selectOneListbox value="#{bean.myvalue}" ...>
	<f:selectItems value="#{bean.mylist}" var="item" itemValue="#{item.value}" itemLabel="#{item.label}" itemDescription="yyy#{item.label}"/>
</h:selectOneListbox>

2.

<h:selectOneListbox value="#{bean.myvalue}" ...>
	<f:selectItems value="#{bean.mylist}" var="item" itemValue="#{item.value}" itemLabel="#{item.label}" passtrough:title="yyy#{item.label}"/>
</h:selectOneListbox>

Option 1 ignores itemDescription. Only label and value are rendered.
Option 2 renders title attribute, but fills title only with "yyy" and ignores value of #

{item.label}

I think, that this behaviour is a bug.
