Select2 placeholder UI breaking

Question

If you see screenshot, When I use placeholder for select2 for multiple select box. It is working fine when I select something from select box, But when I see by default placeholder.

What I am doing: I need to show a placeholder for select2 box, How to fix this height issue?

$('#search_user_events').select2({
            placeholder: 'Select events',
            multiple: true,
            allowClear: true,
            dropdownAutoWidth: true,
            width: '100%'
        });

<select class="form-control" id="search_user_events" name="search_user_events">
                                                    <option></option>
                                                    @foreach($events as $key => $event)
                                                        <option value="{{$event->id}}">{{$event->name}}</option>
                                                    @endforeach
                                                </select>

Your issue is up to the first option: empty and selected by default....

You may combine translateY() with .toggleClass( function [, state ] ) and change event:

 $('#search_user_events').select2({ placeholder: 'Select events', multiple: true, allowClear: true, dropdownAutoWidth: true, width: '100%' }).on('change', function (e) { $('.select2-search__field').toggleClass('mcenter', $(this).val().length <= 1); }).trigger('change');

 .mcenter { transform: translateY(-60%); }
