Issue Summary

I use a nodereference CCK field which is a listbox with multiple values, (so a multiselect) and the better select doesn't work.
With the beta1 version, it works...

I can confirm this as well - for beta2, the BetterSelect doesn't override the normal multiselect for node reference fields.

a quick workaround until better select is fixed/improved.
(better select wasnt working for me at all)

1) disable better select
2) change select lists to checkboxes
3) feel free to change the max-height property in "modules/scrollchecks/scrollchecks.css" to something more suitable for yourself.

Confirming the bug. Until this is fixed, possible workaround is to make nodereference field required. Bug is caused by the code that checks for validity of all the options. It considers "-none-" option as invalid (because of empty key) and fails to replace select list with checkboxes. If you make the field required, "none" option will not be generated and this bug will be avoided.

I can confirm its not working for cck nodereference fields

workaround add this in your theme

.form-checkboxes{
height: 200px;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
