Problem still occurs in version 7.2.1. Can you guys solve it in 8.0.0 version?

[melloware]

PR submitted. Will hopefully be merged for 8.0.0-rc2

@melloware, this is still happening in the latest version. Could you please check this again?
Here is an example. It is using react-hook-forms:
https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/dawn-snowflake-lcqs7d?file=%2Fsrc%2FApp.js%3A89%2C20

With the forceSelection, the input is cleared in the onBlur event. Without it, it works.

@sandrocsimas i think that is intentional when forceSelection? Is your reproducer the same as the original in this ticket?

[sandrocsimas]

@melloware I created that example from scratch in Codesanbox. I don't think that is the intentional behavior of forceSelection, because it is clearing the selection even when you select an option. So, there's no usability to this option. For me, this should happen only when you don't select and leave some free text in the input.
