Description

react-select version: 5.6.1

I'm trying to overwrite the base <input> element field "auto-complete" to have the value "off" in order to stop the Chrome auto-complete suggestions from appearing. When replacing the <components.Input /> component, the options dropdown does not disappear when clicking outside the component.

I am using a Redux store to persist the state of the <Select /> component.

import Select, {components} from "react-select";

return ["category1", "category2"].map(category => {
  const Input = props => (<components.Input {...props} autoComplete="off" />);

  return (
    <Select 
      isMulti={true}
      options={[{label: "Label 1", value: "1"}, {label: "Label 2", value: "2"}]}
      value={reduxStore[attributeCategory.categoryName]}
      onChange={selected => {dispatch({type: 'SET_MULTISELECT', payLoad: {category: category, value: selected}})}}
      closeMenuOnSelect={false}
      components={{Input}}
    />
  );
);

When I remove the "components" prop from the <Select /> component, the dropdown works as expected (closes when clicking outside component).

Research direction

Start with the supplied react-select v5.6.1 reproduction, comparing the default Select behavior with the custom components.Input override and the Redux-controlled value. Investigate the Select and Input entry points to identify why outside clicks do not close the menu; done means autocomplete remains off and the dropdown closes outside the component.
