[Select] Discrepancy in component behavior about carbon HOT 3 OPEN

The option with the lengthy text string is so that we can validate the truncation ellipsis works as expected

We could change this to be lower in the option list, but arguably this long string example should be present in figma to showcase the truncation ellipsis functionality to match storybook.

Yes, the long text is fine, and it's a smart idea to show the same in the Figma kit as well.

However, regarding the issue I mentioned: when the first option is deselected, the text should appear.
Let me confirm internally with the team if we want to simplify the interaction by always displaying the placeholder value.

I realized the Select component's placeholder text has already been discussed with Michael (in this issue. He had specific reasons to remove the default "Choose an option" and add an empty default option.

For now, we can match the interaction with the Figma component. Initially, it should show a blank state, and when any other option is selected, the first option should become visible.
