This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: After updating Toolset plugins, one option in my custom search filter is automatically selected upon page load.
Solution: Add default_label=" " to the wpv-control-postmeta filter shortcodes for Area and Bathrooms, as shown below:
... <label>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]Area[/wpml-string]</label> [wpv-control-postmeta field="wpcf-region_v1" type="select" url_param="wpv-wpcf-region_v1" default_label=" "] ... <label>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]Bathrooms[/wpml-string]</label> [wpv-control-postmeta field="wpcf-no-of-bathrooms" type="select" url_param="wpv-wpcf-no-of-bathrooms" default_label=" "] ...
That should resolve the problem where one of the options is selected automatically.

Issue 1...The above issue doesn't occur as all available values from the dropboxes are present regardless of search results
This might be resolvable with a change to some View configurations. One of the configurations available for Views in Custom Search Settings allows you to choose between "Always show all values for inputs" and "Show only available options for each input". You should choose the first option "Always show all values for inputs". You may need to select "Let me choose individual settings manually" to expose this setting in the Custom Search Settings paenl. See custom-search-settings.png for a visual representation of those selections.
Issue 2...The pagination looks a bit weird compared to the live site.
This seems to be related to a difference in the Bootstrap library versions included on the two sites. I'm not sure offhand which version of Bootstrap is being loaded on the live site, but I can tell the staging site is loading a more recent version than the live site. You could try loading an older version of Bootstrap on the staging site to see if it's more compatible. Versions 3 and 4 are now available for inclusion in Toolset > Settings, in the General tab. I would try loading version 3 first to see if the outcome is more compatible with the existing styles of your site. If not, you can try disabling Bootstrap classes in this navigation element by removing output="bootstrap" from the shortcode as follows:
[wpv-pager-nav-links first_last_links="true" previous_next_links="true" step="5" reach="2"]
Since the previous Toolset versions you had installed, we have found there are some general compatibility issues between Divi and Bootstrap. For new sites using the Divi theme, we typically recommend disabling the Bootstrap library to prevent those compatibility issues. Disabling Bootstrap will have some negative impacts on Toolset, though, as some features rely on Bootstrap for grid-based positioning and other functionality, so the previous recommendation about disabling Bootstrap just for this navigation element is probably less destructive in general.
If none of these options really solves the problem, we can split off a separate ticket to discuss in more detail. Our policy is one issue per ticket, so I would like to focus on the filtering problem here in this ticket and look into the pagination display problem in the new ticket. Let me know if you'd like to split off another ticket and I can take care of that automatically.
