Let's say that I am a developer and I have a module which offers the users to select certain options from a list. Now suppose that this list has the multiple option enabled in the manifest XML file. In this case the list is not displayed as a drop-down menu and this is a UI issue in my opinion. The module field is list and has the multiple option enabled:
http://docs.joomla.org/Standard_form_field_types
http://docs.joomla.org/List_form_field_type
The user has to click inside the field in order to see the options in the drop-down and by default the field does not look like a drop-down.
If you don't have such a module to test with you can use the following one:

Check the screenshot for more info.
I expect a list with the multiple option enabled to be displayed as a drop-down menu.
Right now the list is displayed as a regular text field which is kind of confusing.

I recreated this on my end as well:

Setting to confirmed - thanks
That is actually done by the chosen
JavaScript we use and apply generically on every select.
It's raised multiple times in different contexts that we can't disable or change that behavior easy.
One way to deal with this would be my PR #3721. There may be other ways. For now, there is still no easy solution to this.
Yes - your fix worked for me:
My PR only deals with the menu item form. And does some generic stuff in the fields. So it shouldn't change anything for modules like described in this issue.
However the same thing could be applied here and it would solve the issue. But it would also remove the "chosen" styling from the field, making it look different from the other dropdowns.
