@cetincakiroglu @mehmetcetin01140 This is still broken in PrimeNG 17.18.0:

This was supposedly fixed in version (17.5.0 2024-02-01) but I'm still experiencing it in 17.18.11.

It only happens the first time I open the dropdown when loading the page

Closing the re-opening the dropdown corrects the behavior (by having no option selected)

@cetincakiroglu this issue still exists in version 17.18.11
