  • from here the open/close is broken

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate why selecting text inside the popup prevents the blur event from firing on the input element. Check the onBlur handler and the component's focus management logic to ensure that clicks inside the popup are properly ignored and do not cause the popup to remain open.
