Use Case Scenario
So the scenario is I have a dropdown that I need to have a VALUE for. If it's empty, then I will need to show a specific element. The problem is, currently when I press the select2 dropdown clear button. It does show the elements I need that are previously hidden, but it automatically selects a value.

Reproduction Steps via Clone

1. Open the link.
2. Press the clear button in the select dropdown.
