Selection not cleared when input is focused

Reproduction example

https://codesandbox.io/p/devbox/ykz7x2?file=%2Fsrc%2FrenderApp.test.js

Prerequisites

1. Render

<div>Some text</div>
<in
put data-test="input" autofocus>

with javascript

document.querySelector('div').addEventListener('click', () => {
    document.querySelector('input').focus()
    console.log('activeElement', document.activeElement)
    console.log(`selection "${window.getSelection()?.toString()}"`)
})

2. Select some text out of the "Some text" div by clicking and dragging the mouse inside the div

await user.pointer([
    {target: screen.getByText('Some text'), offset: 1, keys: '[MouseLeft>]'},
    {offset: 8},
    {keys: '[/MouseLeft]'},
  ])
  await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 100))

Expected behavior

In a real browser, when I select text in the "Some text" element, the selection is visible until the mouse-button is released. Then, the mouse-release triggers a "click" event which. The event-handler is invoked, the input-field is focused.

This causes the selection to be removed.

Actual behavior

The in the test-code the click is triggered as in the browser. The input-element is focused.

But the selection is not removed. window.getSelection.toString() still returns the selected string "ome tex"

User-event version

14.5.2

Additional context

No response

Start with the reproduction in src/renderApp.test.js from the linked CodeSandbox and run it against the current project. Trace the selection and focus handling used by the pointer and click simulation, then add a regression test showing that focusing the input clears the selected text and confirm the selection is empty afterward.
