Plunkr Case (Bug Reports)
http://plnkr.co/edit/m1H88j8un6R6HgFiAXgX?p=preview

Current behavior
If navigate and focus the dropdown using the keyboard TAB key (while it is untouched and displaying the placeholder), if down arrow key is used to change the dropdown value, the first change is not detected. It works if dropdown is changed with mouse click.

Expected behavior
It should detect the first change from the default value (null) while using keyboard to navigate through the form as with mouse.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions
Focus the dummy input, press TAB button and change dropdown option with down arrow key.

I also have encountered this issue

I'm encountering this issue too, albeit in template-driven forms. Also, I would like to add that it affects validation.
Say you have a dropdown marked as required, the first selection with keyboard will keep the field (and hence the form) as invalid.

Upgraded to primeng: 4.1.0-rc3 to see if the issue had been resolved, it's now worse as no value is selected if you tab into the dropdown list now reverted back to 4.0.0 where it works, also tooltip text is no longer displaying either
