On dynamically created pages, head.sections.selectedIndex can't be set to -1

[Gustavo Pichorim Boiko]

Ubuntu.Components version: 1.3

Some times it is desirable that none of the entries in the head.sections.model is selected by default.
While that works fine on statically created pages, if I define a page inside a component, or load it directly from a QML file, this is not respected.

The following sample QML application reproduces the problem:

import QtQuick 2.3
import Ubuntu.Components 1.3

MainView {
    width: units.gu(30)
    height: units.gu(60)
    Component {
        id: pageComponent
        Page {
            id: page
            title: i18n.tr("The Page")
            head.sections.model: ["one","two","three"]
            head.sections.selectedIndex: -1
        }
    }

    PageStack {
        id: stack
    }

    Component.onCompleted: {
        stack.push(pageComponent)
    }
}

Expected result: a page with no section selected.
What happens: the first section of the header is selected by default

Just as a note, this bug is actually a regression, since this used to work fine in previous versions of UITK.

Messaging-app is affected by this problem: although visually it looks like the first SIM card is selected, when the user presses the "Send" button he gets a message saying that no SIM card was selected

This introduces a bad bug in dialer-app when you have dual sim. It appears SIM1 is selected but it is really not and there is no way to select it.

Raised to critical as blocks migration to 1.3.
