Description

After researching source code I've found that select is using 'onGlobalMouseDown' callback for tracking outside 'mousedown' event to handle situations where outer click occured or another select instance is opened - then it closes all selects, which were opened before. Unfortunately it doesn't work for situation with opening next select through clicking on 'expandIcon' , because 'rc-select' component inner implementation is calling event.preventDefault which makes impossible to catch this and close previously opened select instances.

Research direction

Start by tracing the onGlobalMouseDown callback and the expandIcon interaction in the select source, then reproduce the behavior with two select instances. Done means opening a second select through its expand icon closes the previously opened select, without breaking outside-click handling.
