Description

Shouldn't we addEventListener only when dropdown of particular react-select is opened? and remove it when dropdown is closed?? Is it a bug or may be I should go for feature request?

Sandbox: https://codesandbox.io/s/react-select-v5-sandbox-forked-ghrqc7?file=/example.js

Just imagine if it would be 30 selectors on a page? react-select remove listeneres only on unmounting - but may be it would be more perfomant to remove after menu is closed?

Research direction

Start with example.js in the linked CodeSandbox and trace how closeMenuOnScroll registers its scroll listener across menu open and close events. Confirm the behavior with multiple selectors, then verify that listeners are active only while their menus are open and are removed when menus close.
