ComboBox Selection - Variable Not Populated

[JXBURNS]

Not sure if this is a bug or by design?

Assuming I have 3 combobox list entries on a screen with the first one set to the Default Text. When I select the 1st option & click NEXT the session variable returns an empty string.

If I select the 2nd or higher option in the list it correctly returns the text for that selection in the session variable.

Then select the 1st option again and returns the correct value this time.

It is as if the session variable is only selected on a "SelectedIndexChanged" event which is not being fired when screen first shown.

I'm not sure at this point if it was intended or not either because as far as I can tell, it has always been the way it worked. However that could be because it has never come up before.

I've logged this to be looked into though.
