DataView.select() function no longer works in 2.1.0-rc2

[pentool]

DESCRIPTION:
I used to have a horizontal scrolling list in 2.0.1.1. It worked. Then in the 2.1 betas it got broken. In the 2.1.0-rc2 I had to switch the list to a dataview in order to be able to scroll horizontally. Now, however, the "select()" function does not select the dataitem.

PROBLEM:
DataView.select() function has no effect. In "initialize" I specify to select/hilite the first dataview item. It does not hilite it. The dataview has a class assigned to it for the "selected" state - which changes the selected item's background from gray to white.

REPRO:
Here is a working demo using 2.1.0-rc2
1. After initial page load, all items' background is gray. This is incorrect. The "select()" function was called on the first item (ABOUT), yet it is not hilited.
2. Click on the first item (ABOUT). Notice nothing happens, since it is already selected. If an item is selected and you click on it again, nothing will happen. This is proof that it's already selected, yet it's not hilited since the "select()" function doesn't work.
3. Click another item. Notice its background changed to white.
4. Click the first item (ABOUT) again, notice its background changed to white now.
5. When you click an item, the "itemtap" even is handled internally. I don't have anything in the code that handles the "itemtap" event.

IMPORTANT:
Here is the same code using 2.0.1.1.
Notice as soon as the page loads, the first item (ABOUT) is hilited (using the select() function). This is not possible in 2.1.0-rc2.

DataView code. The select() function is being called from "initialize".

Looks like when the items are rendered the selection is not looked at.

For now you could do this instead of this.select(...)

this.onAfter('refresh', function() {
    this.select(0, false, false);
}, this, { single : true });
