Comment(by azaozz):

 I don't like the proposed patch for two reasons:

  * It's not compatible with all currently used browsers as Denis said
 above.
  * It "locks" the height of the `<select multiple=...`. What if the plugin
 author wants to set it to something else, i.e. `multiple="3"` or there are
 only 2-3 lines in it?

 Still think it's better to leave this to the individual `<select>`
 elements, i.e. `<select multiple="5" style=".....`.

 It also may be possible to drop the `height=..` from the default
 stylesheet. It is intended to normalize the look of the select drop-downs
 across the currently used browsers but many of them have new versions out
 that may not need it any more.
