Issue #435: deleting wrong option in heuristic test

[sajontahsen]

Description

This PR fixes #435

What's Causing the Bug

The bug seems to happen exclusively for options with no value set, as discussed here. To figure out why, first let's take a closer look at the deleteItem method:

deleteItem(item) {
  this.options.splice(this.options.indexOf(item), 1)
}

Now, my understanding is that if there are multiple items with values as null, indexOf might always return the index of the first item with null value, not necessarily the one we want to delete.

Measures

One way to fix this issue is to assign a unique identifier to each item when it is created, and use this identifier to find the correct item to delete. This ensures that even items with identical visible properties can be correctly distinguished. For this, I have attached a timestamp property to the items.
