Description
Steps to reproduce
Steps:
- Open this link to live example: https://mui.com/material-ui/react-autocomplete/
- Turn on VoiceOver
- Open any Autocomplete dropdown
- Try to select any option with mouse or keyboard
- Notice that it just vanishes before you can actually choose anything
Current behavior
Dropdown closes as soon as an option gets the focus. This makes the component completely unusable if VoiceOver is turned on.
Expected behavior
Autocomplete should behave the same when VoiceOver is turned on.
