Description
Hello, thank you for this wonderful component!
Found a bug with menu - when I use menuPortalTarget={document.body} and isMulti together I encounter strange menu positioning.
It should be placed right under the control, but sometimes menu overlaps it, and sometimes there is a gap.
Fixes with hovering on any menu element (not selected or focused)
Tried to use some hack - trigger mouseover event on hover and change - sometimes it works, but not works when I use keyboard for navigate and select.
Demo included - https://codesandbox.io/s/codesandboxer-example-forked-c9u1u5?file=/example.tsx

Start with the linked CodeSandbox example.tsx and reproduce the issue using menuPortalTarget={document.body} with isMulti. Trace the menu positioning behavior for both mouse hover and keyboard navigation; done means the menu consistently sits directly beneath the control without overlap or a gap.
