Description

When using the Combobox in it's readonly variant, clicking on the dropdown-arrow does nothing. Clicking anywhere else works fine.

I'm not able to work on this right now, but might have time later this week.

You can see the behavior here: https://react.lightningdesignsystem.com/components/comboboxes/

Research direction

Start by reproducing the readonly Combobox behavior in the linked React demo, focusing on the dropdown arrow rather than the rest of the control. Locate the Combobox implementation and its existing tests, then verify that clicking the arrow opens the menu in readonly mode without breaking other click behavior.
