Problem Description:
See title, attached test case, and Actual Result below.
Steps to Reproduce:
Create two fields with the same name in a form, leave one or both fields empty, submit, and examine the form scope.
See attached test case.
Actual Result:
1. If the first field is empty, there's a trailing comma in the value, new behavior.
2. If the second field is empty, there's a leading comma (not new)
3. If both are empty, value is a single comma, new behavior.
These behaviors are all present in ColdFusion 11,0,03,292480 (latest update), 10,0,15,292620 (latest update) and in 11,0,0,289822.
#2 ONLY is present in ColdFusion 9,0,2,282541 and ColdFusion 8,0,1,195765.
Expected Result:
Whatever the behavior should be ideally, the behavior of cases 1 and 3 has changed, and breaks applications.
Ideally leading and trailing commas would be trimmed in all cases where they're the result of multiple fields with the same name.
Any Workarounds:
None, without modifying existing applications, not good.
