"This Boolean attribute indicates that multiple options can be selected in the
list. If it is not specified, then only one option can be selected at a time.
When multiple is specified, most browsers will show a scrolling list box
instead of a single line dropdown."

So the browser implementations are in line with the listbox & dropdown
differences of LibreOffice's form elements.

Right, as said in bug 72932 comment 22, multiselection for listboxes works
fine.
