In the latest Browser version 12.0, this keyword behaves differently and thus it breaks some particular test cases.
I have the following combo box:

and when I select with:
Select Options By .cstic-required >> text=1-channel >> xpath=..//select text 0
it returns:
waiting for selector ".cstic-required >> text=1-channel >> xpath=..//select >> nth=0 >> xpath=./option[@value="1" or text()="1"]"
strict mode violation: ".cstic-required >> text=1-channel >> xpath=..//select >> nth=0 >> xpath=./option[@value="1" or text()="1"]" resolved to 2 elements:
1) <option value="1">0</option> aka playwright.$("text=1-channel012 >> select")
2) <option value="2">1</option> aka playwright.$("text=1-channel012 >> select")
If I select by value or by index, the error is the same. I don't see any workaround for this situation currently.
