[v19] Autoselect selects the incorrect option if the input matches an available option

[theofidry]

Describe the bug

When using the autocomplete with forceSelection, if you type something that matches an available option, for instance Wien, but you select a different option from the dropdown, e.g. Wien (Stadt), then the option selected will be Wien instead of Wien (Stadt).
