1.8.0 does not draw multiselect.

[badfiles]

<select data-placeholder="(выберите значение)" multiple="multiple" class="chosen-multiselect" tabindex="5" id="id" name="id[]">
....
</select>
<script type="text/javascript">$(".chosen-multiselect").chosen({width: "100%", max_selected_options: 6});</script>

results in

<div class="chosen-container chosen-container-multi" title="" id="id_chosen" style="width: 100%;"><ul class="chosen-choices">
  <li class="search-field">
    <input class="chosen-search-input default" type="text" autocomplete="off" value="(выберите значение)" tabindex="5" style="width: 152.438px;">
  </li>
</ul>
<div class="chosen-drop">
  <ul class="chosen-results"></ul>
</div></div>

chosen-drop and chosen-results are empty.

Tried in latest chrome and firefox.

Falling back to 1.7.0 helps.

1.8.0 does work for multiselects — you can see it working on the demo page. There must be something amiss with your specific setup.

Here's your exact sample code working in a Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/75204mbs/1/

Please link to a publicly accessible page or a Fiddle so we can attempt to debug. Closing in the meantime.

if options go like this:

<option value="a">a</option>
<option value="b">b</option>
<option value="c">c</option>

1.7.0 works, 1.8.0 -- empty dropdown box.

Here's a Fiddle showing that exact code working with 1.8.0: https://jsfiddle.net/75204mbs/8/

Check your JS console. Make sure no errors are being thrown there.

No errors, I am sorry, but it looks like it does not work only with Russian words.
Try this set.

<option value="v">я</option>
<option value="z">м</option>
<option value="x">и</option>

Now we're getting somewhere! That sounds like it's related to #2821, which should be fixed by #2877. You can continue using 1.7.0 in the meantime, or you can pull down that branch and build Chosen yourself from source to see if that fixes your issue. We're hoping to get #2877 merged and released very soon.

Here's a JSBin with Chosen from that branch and your code that you shared — it seems to be working with that fix: https://jsbin.com/diwaxomuju/edit?html,output
