LS,

When the option highlightFirst is set to false and the autoBind is set to false, the first item is always highlighted.

Steps to reproduce:

Edit this example: https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/multiselect/index

Add the parameters:

              highlightFirst: false,
              autoBind: false,

Click on the multiselect, the multiselect will open, but the first item is highlighted. Expected behaviour: first item not highlighted.

Change the autoBind to true or undefined, the first item isn't highlighted.

The problem with the first item highlighted is that this option will be selected when the user hits enter.

Is there any work around for this issue?

Thanks in advance.
