Description

Describe the bug

When using a select within a remote functions form, clicking an option will not select the clicked option but the select will show empty instead. I need to click the same option again, only then is the option properly selected.
When I remove {...submitSelection} from the form element it works fine.

<script>
	import { schema } from './dummy.common';
	import { submitSelection } from './dummy.remote';

	const options = [{ id: 1, name: `meditation` }, { id: 2, name: `yoga` }]
	const selectedOption = $state(options[0]);
</script>

	<form {...submitSelection} >
			<select
				{...submitSelection.fields.selection.as(`select`)}
				value={selectedOption}
			>
				<option value={0}>Select an option</option>
				{#each options as option (option.id)}
					<option value={option.id}>{option.name}</option>
				{/each}
			</select>

			<button type="submit" >Submit</button>
	</form>

Research direction

Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction and inspect the remote form spread together with the select field binding. Reproduce the first-click failure, then trace the form and select interaction in the relevant SvelteKit code. Done means selecting an option works on the first click while the remote form binding remains present.
