Not selecting default value since 2015 update

[Kevin]

Hi,

Since we've updated to the 2015 Q1 update a number of our DropDownLists have stopped selecting the top item on page load.  This is the issue we're having, seems to be consistent with the following criteria:

-DropDownListFor a default int property (so value is 0 by default)
-DataSource is a small collection contained in the ViewBag with no item of ID 0

eg
@(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(x => x.ClientID)
                            .DataTextField("name")
                            .DataValueField("id")
                            .BindTo((System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewBag.Clients)
                        )

These were working before the update, and just defaulting to an index of 1, but even trying to set the SelectedIndex property fails to alleviate the problem.   Any advice you might have would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin

Here is a demo of the behaviour I'm talking about (the cap color list).

Hello Kevin,

The described issue is related to some changes made in Q1 2015 release due the virtualization and grouping features. It is already addressed (screencast) and the next internal build scheduled for today (Friday) will include the fix. Let me know if the problem still persists after the update.
