Dropdown: dropdown would close overlay when selecting text on filter

[Foxandxss]

Describe the bug

Using a dropdown (and the multiselect) with a filter.

Say you want to hightlight the text of the filter to copy it and you do it with the mouse. You click in the filter input and you drag your mouse until you reach the end of the input and instead of stopping the dragging in the input itself, you unpress the button outside of it. If you do that the overlay will close and you will lose the highlight.

The AutoComplete component suffers from the same issue.

Hi,

So sorry for the delayed response! Improvements have been made to many components recently, both in terms of performance and enhancement. Therefore, this improvement may have been developed in another issue ticket without realizing it. You can check this in the documentation. If there is no improvement on this, can you open a new issue so we can include it in our roadmap?

Thanks a lot for your understanding!
Best Regards,
