Impossible to select first item by screen reader

[k7sleeper]

It's impossible to select the first item using the sr. Fix: In select.jschange

$scope.$watch('$select.activeIndex', function(activeIndex) {
  if (activeIndex)
    $element.find('input').attr(
      'aria-activedescendant',
      'ui-select-choices-row-' + ctrl.generatedId + '-' + activeIndex);
});

to

$scope.$watch('$select.activeIndex', function(activeIndex) {
  if (activeIndex != null)
    $element.find('input').attr(
      'aria-activedescendant',
      'ui-select-choices-row-' + ctrl.generatedId + '-' + activeIndex);
});

Hi there,

The issue described can be reproduced in this example: http://angular-ui.github.io/ui-select/demo-append-to-body.html

I tested it with NVDA Version 2017.2 which is the newest version at the moment. https://www.nvaccess.org/ I tested the Select2 theme dropdown I tested it using Chrome Version 59.0.3071.115 (Official Build) (64-Bit)

Steps to reproduce:

• Select the Select2 theme dropdown, so that it has the NVDA focus.
• switch NVDA from Document Mode (red) to Formular Mode (blue) by pressing Enter
• use arrow keys 'up', 'down' to cycle through the options. In no case I got NVDA to read 'Adam'.

I also applied the proposed fix (line 1023). It fixed part of the issue. http://plnkr.co/edit/5JS3Rh4C4MllBXVQxQoZ?p=preview

• When pressing Enter on the Select2 theme dropdown 'Adam' gets preselected but isn't read by NVDA (which would be expected).
• Arrow key down selects 'Amelie' and NVDA reads that out.
• Arrow key up selects 'Adam' again and now NVDA reads that.

This proposed fix makes it possible to select Adam, which is currently impossible.
