Description
I need to automate form data input, but I'm having issues finding a way to select an option with a react-select component. Browser extensions are not able to access react properties due to security sandboxing. As such only in dev tools can I use select->control->reactProps->...->setvalue().
Is it possible to fix the react-select bug that prevents e.click() from opening the drop-down list and then selecting one of the options also using e.click()?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with a react-select component and a browser extension that invokes e.click() on the control and an option. Compare that behavior with the dev-tools reactProps setValue workaround described in the report. Done means the dropdown opens and an option can be selected through clicks without accessing React internals.
