<p dir="auto">I kind of came to the same conclusion (the code is not wrong according to the spec).
However, it's not clear to me that the server <em>must</em> select the version in accordance with the client's preferred order, and it makes some sense from a security point of view for the server to select the newest/best version if the client offers more than one (as well as avoiding a situation where the user at the client end can accidentally configure a priority string which prevents client and server establishing a connection).
It appears that openssl servers select 1.3 in preference to 1.2 even when the client puts 1.2 before 1.3, and it may be no bad thing to behave in a compatible way.
Perhaps this could be viewed as a suggested possible improvement rather than a bug report?
If you think otherwise, I'll not complain should you decide to simply close the issue.</p>
