Description
The native html select element blocks all pointer-events for an entire webpage when the dropdown is open.
At the moment, 'react-select' does not reflect this standard focus guard behaviour.
Select elements in other libraries have replicated this behaviour, with varying implementation methods.
Quick explanation vid is attached.
Thank you!
