first option always selected even when autoSelectFirstOption set to false

[data-handler]

I am instantiating a virtual select from an existing select in the DOM (I have read the documentation that says this is not preferred approach but this is the only way this works for me). The first option is always selected even though there are no options in the DOM select that are selected, and even when setting autoSelectFirstOption to false (its default value)

The only way around this seems to be to the following:

myVirtualSelectInstance.toggleAllOptions(true);
myVirtualSelectInstance.toggleAllOptions(false);
