Default selection in drop field

[oeb]

I have a drop field with an additional choice before the file records (under 'more settings'). However, the first field in the file is still used as default choice.  Looking into the generated HTML source code both the additional choice and the first field is marked as SELECTED which of course isn't right. Could this be a bug in Nettalk or is there a setting for this that I haven't found?

Do you give the additional item a unique value?
Does this happen on insert or edit or both?
are you priming that field on insert with a value other than the first one?

I do the same thing - I add "select a fuel type" with a value of 0 before the items from the file. Seems to work fine.

The additional field is an empty text field.

This is what appears in the HTML source:
<option value="" selected="selected" class="SelectList1">Option1</option>
<option value="ExampleText" selected="selected" class="SelectList2">Option2</option>
<option value="ExampleText2" class="SelectList1">Option3</option>

As you see, both the first options are marked as selected.

This happens when the page is loaded the first time. On subsequent loads it will correctly remember the selection from last time (if changed), with only one item selected. So how can I set this default selection manually for the first load?

looks like a bug, I'll look into it.
