Inconsistent blur event on menu item selection

[alasdairhurst]

Version 2.3.2

Steps to reproduce

Use the following fiddle:
https://jsfiddle.net/alasdairhurst/wtLgga55/5/

Select a suggestion using the keyboard and press enter
Input does not blur on select

Now select a suggestion with the mouse
Input blurs on select

Expected Behavior

A consistent behaviour - blur on both or don't blur on select
Personally, I would be for the latter. I feel that blur should only happen when the input loses focus. A different event is used to check if a menu selection is made/changed.

Actual Behavior

Input blurs inconsistently when using mouse or keyboard for selection

Makes sense. Note that the underlying reason for the difference in behavior is that clicking on a menu item does actually blur the input, while using keystrokes does not. So in this case I'd need to re-focus the input after a menu item has been clicked.

Should it behave like this though? What is the reasoning between the different functionality based on the input controller?

What is the reasoning between the different functionality

That's just default javascript behavior. So like I said, I either need to re-focus the input or prevent the blur.

Fixed in v2.4.0
