viritin TypedSelect selection not shown

Hi,

I use the viritin TypedSelect to present and select an item in a N:1 relation.
My data is stored via JPA and eclipselink.

If I open the form containing the TypedSelect for the first time the selected item is not shown.
(the list of items to select from is shown, but this is created explicitly).
However, if I open the form the second time for the same object, the TypedSelect shows the selected item
properly. Between opening the first and second time, I did not change anything.

The TypedSelect is created as follows:
    @PropertyId("attribute")
    protected TypedSelect<ObjectType> attribute= new TypedSelect<ObjectType>("object type");

Any ideas?

Thanks.
