Ionic Framework Version

v8.x

Current Behavior

With the following ion-select:

<ion-select
  aria-label="Fruit"
  interface="action-sheet"
  value="oranges"
  placeholder="Select fruit"
  [interfaceOptions]="{ header: 'Header' }"
>
  <ion-select-option value="apples">Apples</ion-select-option>
  <ion-select-option value="oranges">Oranges</ion-select-option>
  <ion-select-option value="bananas">Bananas</ion-select-option>
</ion-select>

When the action sheet is opened, the focused element with "ion-focused" class is the previous of the one that is selected.
On the code it searches the index of the selected item but then it uses nth-child to select it that takes into account the header of the action sheet.

A workaround is to remove the header.

Expected Behavior

The selected element is the one focused.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Click on the select to open it
2. See that "Apples" is highlighted instead of "Oranges"
