_No response_
### Description
Hi,
When using MatSelect inside a SideNav, if the panel is opened and we close the sideNav with the Escape button, the MatSelect panel stays opened.
I expected the same behavior like with the MatDatePicker, if the picker panel is opened, when using Escape the picker is closed first, and then using Escape again closes the sideNav.
I also provide the same sample inside a Dialog using the MatSelect and MatDatePicker and in this case, both works the same way and correctly.
The issue seems related to this one:

Thanks

Research direction
Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction and reproduce the Escape sequence in the SideNav, MatSelect, and MatDatePicker examples. Compare how MatSelect handles Escape with the picker behavior. Done means the MatSelect panel closes first and a subsequent Escape closes the SideNav, including coverage for the reported setup.
