Semantic-ui: [Dropdown] - search selection has 1st item highlighted when opening dropdown

[avalanche1]

When opening search selection dropdown - it has 1st item already selected highlighted. Which contradicts to the UX of other dropdown types.
Also, in search selection dropdown selected item isnt highlighted, only 'bolded' - unlike other dropdown types where selected item is bold AND highlighted (has background).

Has this been resolved or is there a workaround?

With 855 open issues this particular one might just not be a priority..

At least for my scenario there is a workaround, see bug https://github.com/Semantic-Org/Semantic-UI/issues/4709.

Well, setting forceSelection: false doesn't help in my case:
https://jsfiddle.net/avalanche1/0sruz8sh/ - Angular is selected highlighted by default when opening dropdown

weird, mine doesn't do what you said. I'm on Chrome 54 (Linux)

I tried your fiddle btw

You are talking about different 'selection'
The one @Thomas12 is talking about is semantic ui dropdown forceSelection option which selects the first element (matching search criteria if that's search dropdown) even when you close it without actually selecting an item
The second one, @avalanche1 is talking about is that you see the highlight of the first element

@saitonakamura I was about to say that. I was about to reply if he meant the selected or highlighted

[avalanche1]

@saitonakamura , thanks for clarifying! I've edited topic accordingly

Yeah, so an others unwanted behavior, when i use ui.dropdown.multiple.search with allowAdditions = true, in the results i have something like tester as a value, and when i type for example: test and click on enter or type a delimiter such a , drowpdown automatically chose the first highlighted value, even if use set forceSelection = false. I need to add the value as I wrote.
any suggestions !
Finally sorry for my english !

@xmoroccan I'm having the same issue as well, and it's pretty much impossible to add a new value if that value is a substring of another already existing value. I've tried both forceSelection = false and selectOnKeydown = false (to at least enable adding new value on delimiter) but none of this has worked.

Would love to have a solution/workaround for this as it has been bugging me for ages.
