Description

When I search for the keyword "r" it comes up with 6 values. When I select 1 value my search keyword disappears and the list returns to default. This forces me to type search r to select the 2nd value. What should I do to keep the previous search keyword.

I just need this in isMulti state and closeMenuOnSelect=false

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with isMulti and closeMenuOnSelect=false, searching for "r" and selecting multiple values. Trace the select input behavior to identify where the search keyword is cleared after selection; done means the previous keyword remains available for selecting the next value without retyping it.
