Placeholder text shows with the initial value of the dropdown

[twmobius]

Describe the bug

I think this is related to #14094. I am getting at a state where both the p-dropdown placeholder and the initial value in a reactive form component are both shown at the same time.

As seen in the screenshot here:

I think it happens because the options are being lazy loaded and the form is patchValue()d before the options are being populated. Something related to the label() method perhaps (https://github.com/primefaces/primeng/blob/master/src/app/components/dropdown/dropdown.ts#L918C1-L922C8)

Environment

I've tried it with primeng 16.6.0 and 16.7.2, and it doesn't happen

Hi,

Couldn't replicate the behavior in the latest PrimeNG, it may have fixed within 16.9 and 17.0.0-beta.1. Please see the working example: https://stackblitz.com/edit/u9wypz?file=src%2Fapp%2Fdemo%2Fdropdown-reactive-forms-demo.ts,src%2Fapp%2Fdemo%2Fdropdown-reactive-forms-demo.html

I can verify that it works as expected on 16.9.0, I've updated by stackblitz to 16.9.0 and it works.
