I do not see how this addresses the issues?

Problem: there is not enough room to display the selected values when 
the combobox is collapsed.

A comma separated list is much too long - that is the issue/problem!

As suggested in the notes, please consider

- use a flat grid instead.

If there are few choices:

- a segmented button

- checkbox group.
