rich:select opens on first item instead of selected

I have a rich:select in my code as follows : 

<rich:select style="width: 50" enableManualInput=false value="#{MyBean.Obj.id}">
    <f:selectItems value="#{MyBean.objList}"/>
</rich:select>

On my page, if I open this dropdown, it shows the first element in the dropdown instead of that specified by the value attribute. If I now select one of the elements and then open it again, it still goes to the first element, not the selected one.

If I however replace rich:select with h:selectOneMenu with all the same attributes, it works fine. I can't use h:selectOneMenu though as the richfaces styles are not applied to it.

Is there anyway I can get rich:select working or apply the richfaces styles to h:selectOneMenu?

change <f:selectItems value="#{MyBean.objList}"/> to <f:selectItems value="#{MyBean.objList}" var="obj" itemValue="obj.id"/>

and if your id is not a native Java class, then implement hashCode and equals method in it

I think you need to use converter attribute of rich:select. Sometime I have same issues and always it is because rich:select fail mapping to appropriate value (in your situation it is three).

h:selectOneMenu generates <select> and that can't be styled very well.

The <rich:select> doesn't have that kind of functionality, but it can be achieved with Javascript, take a look on my solution for a similar question.
