Research direction

Start by reproducing the focus sequence with the provided parent div and ReactSelect snippet, then trace the component's onBlur and onMenuClose handling. Done means clicking outside after the parent has been focused triggers onBlur and closes the option menu without the unexpected initial onMenuClose call.

Description

issue/bug-unconfirmed

Hi,

When the parent element of a ReactSelect has been focused, the onBlur is never called on ReactSelect, so clicking outside of the component never close the option menu.

It can be reproduced easily with this:

const nodeRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement | null>(null);
<div
  ref={nodeRef}
  tabIndex={0}
  onMouseDown={() => {
    nodeRef.current?.focus();
  }}
>
  <ReactSelect />
</div>

Another strange thing is that in this situation, onMenuClose is called when we open the menu for the first time, and it's not the case in regular situations.

Thanks,
