[BUG] Highlight color disappears on search when first option does not change

[melcor76]

Describe the bug
When we filter the first option (or the selected one) gets highlighted.
But when narrowing down the search and the first option is the same then the highlight disappears.
I can see that the class mat-mdc-option-active is not there as it should be.

To Reproduce

1. Go to https://stackblitz.com/github/bithost-gmbh/ngx-mat-select-search-example
2. Click on one of the select lists, for example, "Single selection with custom clear icon"
3. Start writing f..r..a
4. See error --> The first option is not highlighted

Expected behavior
I expect the first option to be highlighted.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: iOS
• Browser: Chrome
• Version: 121.0.6167.139

Additional context
The first option is still active in the sense that when I use the arrow key down then it goes to the 2nd option.

@macjohnny I can add a ticket for it at work but it's low priority so not sure when I'll get a chance to look at it.
