Originally reported on Google Code with ID 766

In the last bar in the attached example, Nyati, Pongo, Digidigi are all clumped together
as one item. Ideally, there should be an option for bar graph for each answer. 

I suppose the fundamental problem is that it's hard to analyze data in selects without
them being broken into separate columns. One good work around might be document a way
to do this in Excel

This looks like a bug in the visualization code. Should the first bar be split also:

- Muhanga
- Kima_kic...

??

Or perhaps this is displaying all the combinations that are present in the data?

Ugh. This is a mistake on my part. Although the data type is select1, the control widget
was still select. I suppose that's the real bug. Anyway to catch that in Validate?

Yikes. That's a mistake.

Changing this to a Validate issue.  

Not sure what we can do there, but it would definitely be worth fixing.
