Assigning to the reactive Select.value doesn't post a Changed message

[rodrigogiraoserrao]

The reactive Select.value can be assigned to and it will change the selection of the widget but it won't post a message Select.Changed.

Isn't this in keeping with a few other widgets within Textual, where setting its corresponding "value" won't result in a message, when user interaction would¹?

Footnotes

1. I tend to think any change should result in a message, but I'm just mentioning this as it feels like it's something that should be idiomatic to all widgets, one way or another. ↩

Maybe. I was looking at Input where assigning to its value will result in a message.

I have a very strong opinion in favour of all changes posting the relevant messages.
