Inconsistent rendering of schemas describing the same data shape

[llamamoray]

Description

I've got two schemas that produce the same resulting shape of data from the form:

    const schema1 = {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        multipleChoicesList: {
          uniqueItems: true,
          items: {
            enum: ['Entity A', 'Entity B', 'Entity C', 'Entity D'],
            type: 'string',
          },
          type: 'array',
          title: 'A multiple choices list',
        },
      },
    };

    const schema2 = {
      definitions: {
        entityList: {
          enum: ['Entity A', 'Entity B', 'Entity C'],
          type: 'string',
        },
      },
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        'Entity List': {
          uniqueItems: true,
          items: { $ref: '#/definitions/entityList' },
          type: 'array',
        },
      },
    };

They produce two different forms:

schema1:

schema2:

Is this considered a bug in the library? It means that adding a uiSchema 'ui:widget': 'checkboxes' does not work with schema2.

Steps to Reproduce

Apply schemas above to playground.

Expected behavior

Two schemas describing the same shape to produce the same form elements.

Version

0.48.0

Yes, that looks like a bug. Using $ref shouldn't change the schema.

@glasserc Do you know where in the code the problem is?

[glasserc]

No, not off the top of my head, sorry.

@glasserc This seems to be fixed in the current live playground. Do you know when the next release will be?

[glasserc]

Yeah, this got fixed by #581. I just released v0.50.0 which should contain the fix.
