Can't select the very first item as a tag when tagging-label is false

Bug description:

Unable to select the very first item as a tag when the tagging-label is set to false and invoking the select function manually.
The offending line of code is in select.js and line number is ~677:

if (!item || angular.equals( ctrl.items[0], item ) ) {
   return;
}

HI @Eyesonly88 , looked at your plunker but I can select the first item ("Red").
Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

@Jefiozie I should have included a bit more instructions on how to reproduce 😭

To reproduce on the plunkr:
Try selecting the color red by typing red and then pressing Enter. It won't work.

However, if you type any other color and press Enter then it will add it as a tag.
The problem is that red is the very first item in the available tags which is a bug in angular ui-select.

Thanks, do you have time to make a PR for this? Happy to review it for you.

Hi @Jefiozie

Sorry I don't have time to make a PR for this 😞. I think the only tricky part is making sure nothing else breaks by making this change.
