When using multi select without a placerholder or an initial value the input box seems to collapse. As far as I can tell this is caused by setWidth() being called which results in 1ch as the width.
It seems like this got introduced here (9fc283c) in order to handle initial selections.

if (this._isSelectOneElement) {
this.input.placeholder = this.config.searchPlaceholderValue || '';
if (this.config.searchEnabled) {
dropdownElement.insertBefore(this.input.element, dropdownElement.firstChild);
}
} else {
if (!this._isSelectMultipleElement || this.config.searchEnabled) {
containerInner.element.appendChild(this.input.element);
}
if (this._placeholderValue) {
this.input.placeholder = this._placeholderValue;
}
this.input.setWidth();
}
