Description
This is a bug regarding react-select v5.2.2.
We are using the AsyncSelect component in our project for asynchronous selecting options. By default, it works fine for ordinary users, except using it with VoiceOver.
On the screenshot, you can see VoiceOver's proposition on how to choose an option from the list, but using the keyboard keys: Up/Down simply close the dropdown.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the AsyncSelect component in react-select v5.2.2 using VoiceOver on Mac and the Up/Down keys. Trace the keyboard interaction for the dropdown; done means VoiceOver users can move through the options without the dropdown closing and can select an option.
