How to display all selected options using multiple bootstrap-select?

I am using silviomoreto bootstrap-select. Here is the link with documentation http://silviomoreto.github.io/bootstrap-select/ On few select options I am using multiple select and i have next problem.

If there is more options selected, they don't fit into select input. Like this (screenshot example) . Is there any way that with every new selected option that input box expands the height and display everything that user selected? Also i tried to change css 

.bootstrap-select.btn-group .btn .filter-option {
   display: inline-block;
   width: 100%;
   float: left;
   text-align: left;
   color: #333 !important;
   text-transform: uppercase;
   overflow: visible;
   height: 150px;
}

but that didn't work neither.

Thanks in advance!

None of the solutions on this page worked for me. I ended up writing some jQuery code to take care of it. Here is it, in case it helps anyone else!

$(document).ready(function(){
  $('#my_select').on('loaded.bs.select hidden.bs.select', function(){ 
    $(this).parent('.bootstrap-select').css('height','auto');
    $(this).next('.btn').css('overflow','hidden').height($(this).next('.btn').find('.filter-option-inner').height()); 
  });
});

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-select/1.13.5/js/bootstrap-select.js"></script>

<select id="my_select" class="form-control selectpicker" multiple data-multiple-separator="<br>">
  <option>Value 1</option>
  <option>Value 2</option>
  <option>Value 3</option>
  <option>Value 4</option>
  <option>Value 5</option>
</select>

With the result being:

Multiple Selected Options Shown

You must add this line to css of .btn: white-space: normal;

.bootstrap-select .btn {
    white-space: normal;
}

Then you must set the correct initial width, padding and stuff. Hope this works.

I think you want to use the multi select instead of the select. 

   <select class="selectpicker" multiple title='Choose one of the following...'>
         <option>Mustard</option>
          <option>Ketchup</option>
          <option>Relish</option>
      </select>

And if you want the width of your select box to grow with the selections, you could set a dynamic width accordingly to the div.bootstrap-select class.
