Description

Hey legends,

Reproduction steps

  • click on a select input to open a menu
  • optional: start typing
  • right click on the select input
  • the user is now no longer able to continue typing in the select input until the select input looses focus (eg by clicking off it), and regains focus again

Standalone example

This issue is reproducible on the base select example as well as on in the select documentation

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the linked standalone example, using its index.js, and compare it with the select documentation example. Trace the select's behavior around opening the menu, typing, and right-clicking; done means typing continues without requiring the input to lose and regain focus.
