Hello Marc! Thank you for your report. In order to do a proper triage of this ticket, I need your help with the following:

  1. Could you please confirm that this issue is present in the main branch of the Django project?
  2. Could you please provide a minimal reproducer with the form you used and template?

A few things to note:

  • Django 3.2 is no longer supported and Django 4.2 is on security-fixes-only support mode.
  • Django 4.1 introduced some transitional form renderer classes to ease migration to 5.0 where there is a change in how the forms are rendered by default (using <div>), please check the release notes for ​4.1 and ​5.0.

I tried to reproduce this with no success. My form is as follows: 

from django import forms


class MyForm(forms.Form):
    recipients = forms.MultipleChoiceField(widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple)

    def __init__(self, *a, **kw):
        super().__init__(*a, **kw)
        recipient_choices = [(i, f"User {i} with email {i}@something") for i in range(5)]
        self.fields['recipients'].choices = recipient_choices

And when rendering it with {{ form }} in a Django template, I get a nice looking form:

Recipients:

Closing as worksforme until a minimal reproducer or more information is provided.

    initial v1

    33In the form definition:
     4{{{
    45recipients = forms.MultipleChoiceField(widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple)
     6}}}

     11}}}

    913This has worked since 2009, but Django 4.2.x has broken it as it does not insert line breaks between the recipients and the list is a jumbled mess. I've coded around it by using the SelectMultiple widget, which still allows editing of the list, but not in obvious ways to my users, and is thus unacceptable.
