The swap over happens when the number of items gets sufficiently large and a jQuery-based widget called select2 replaces all select boxes in Galaxy - unless explicitly disabled. I understand the desire to disable this. I am not sure anyone is really very pleased with select2 for multiple select widgets - it might be worth just disabling it for multiple select form elements all together globally. I don't know.
The function 'replace_big_select_inputs' in galaxy.base.js is where the logic for this code is located. You could avoid applying select2 to selects with multiple using the following CSS selector on line 261 in place of $('select'): $('select').not('[multiple]') Best, J.
