Description

Hi @Rall3n

I'm using "Select" component in react-select lib , Here once user select any option in drop down , He cant able to go back to edit already selected value in drop down , So he needs to start typing from scratch .

For Eg :
I have dropdown options

  • 123
  • 122
  • 125

Initially I selected "123" , now I want to change to "125" for this I need to start type from first character .
Expected behaviour : Make this field editable and I want to remove last character in "123" and add "5" in the end , Can you help me how to achieve this ?

Research direction

Reproduce the Select component behavior described with options 123, 122, and 125, then review the component's documented editing behavior and available configuration. Done means a selected value can be edited in place so 123 can become 125 without retyping the entire value; the issue does not name a file or test to start from.
