Widget display '[object Object]' when clear text with the 'text' method

[ggkrustev]

Bug report

Reproduction of the problem

The widget does not display the optionLabel when reset text with the text method. This is observable only when optionLabel is defined as string.

Repro demo:
http://dojo.telerik.com/oMUse

Expected/desired behavior

The widget should display the "option label" text, not "[object Object]".

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2016.2.714
• jQuery version: 1.9.3+
• Browser: all

The workaround is to clear the text using the value method:
http://dojo.telerik.com/oMUse/2

If you would like to clear just the text, then you can set the content of the html element:
