Trying to focus a text field with dropdown menu opened requires one to click twice

[7haveeen]

Describe the bug

Is the behavior intentional or a bug? When I click on the dropdown menu and then try to type in the text field with the menu open, it doesn't automatically focus on the text field. Instead, I have to click on it again for it to become active.

Reproduction

Open the input docs then click on the theme changer button at the top as if you want to change the theme, with that menu open try to focuse the input. It will require you to click twice which is not very user friendly.

Severity

annoyance

I think the issue is that the user can still interact with the input while the select is open, whereas in the original shadcn you cannot. This is likely an issue to be solved at the bits level so will transfer there.

Working on adding overlay elements to melt so that they can be brought here which will provide the desired behavior.

Why do I need to provide a reproduction?

This project is maintained by a very small team, and we simply don't have the bandwidth to investigate issues that we can't easily replicate. Reproductions enable us to fix issues faster and more efficiently. If you care about getting your issue resolved, providing a reproduction is the best way to do that.

I've provided a reproduction - what happens now?

Once a reproduction is provided, we'll remove the needs reproduction label and review the issue to determine how to resolve it. If we can confirm it's a bug, we'll label it as such and prioritize it based on its severity.

If needs reproduction labeled issues don't receive any activity (e.g., a comment with a reproduction link), they'll be closed. Feel free to comment with a reproduction at any time and the issue will be reopened.

How can I create a reproduction?

You can use this template to create a minimal reproduction. You can also link to a GitHub repository with the reproduction.

Please ensure that the reproduction is as minimal as possible. If there is a ton of custom logic in your reproduction, it is difficult to determine if the issue is with your code or with the library. The more minimal the reproduction, the more likely it is that we'll be able to assist.
