Description

Steps to reproduce

Link to live example: (required)

Steps:

  1. Go to https://mui.com/material-ui/
  2. Then open Components -> Inputs -> Select
  3. Use the Basic Select Component and try to navigate using your keyboard.
Current behavior

When I navigate from the main menu to go to the page where you have the MUI Select Component. Using the keyboard to navigate does not work. It only work after I refresh the page.

Expected behavior

Using the keyboard to navigate on the Select Component must highlight the options when the user navigates using their keyboard and select by pressing enter.
