Description
Describe the bug
When applying appendTo="self" on <Multiselect /> input and menu UI styles are displayed out of frame.
Without appendTo everything works fine.
Applying appendTo="self" on <Select /> works as expected.

Research direction
Start with the StackBlitz reproducer's src/App.jsx and compare the Multiselect appendTo="self" behavior with Select, where the same option works. Reproduce the out-of-frame menu styling, then trace the corresponding Multiselect component entry point; done means the menu remains correctly positioned when appendTo="self" is used.
