Adding a little clarification to duplication steps here:

1. From the basic picklist, scroll down on the source so that the first item(bamboo watch?) is not visible
2. Click on any other item
3. See that the picklist scrolls to the top and selects the first item (bamboo watch?)
4. The first item is not actually selected, but you have to find your item again to select it correctly

Watching the animation, if I don't scroll down and click an item (not the first), it animates the first item as though I clicked it, then moves to the item I selected.

Of note, running Angular 17 (latest minor). Problem was noted in test with at least PrimeNG ~17.17

This also happens in the official webpage. If you scroll down in source elements and click last one, you'll get scrolled back to the top.

Bump. Seeing this bug as well. Like @jorgebenaventee mentioned, it's happening on the documentation page.
