Bug - Select - Inline filter doesn't allow left/right arrows moving caret within entered filter text

[jeswanke]

Describe the problem
The Select component has an hasInlineFilter option that opens a search field. The up and down arrows are used to navigate down to the available selections. However the left/right arrow keys are captured even when the input field still has focus preventing a user from pressing the left arrow back in the entered text.

How do you reproduce the problem?
There's a section in Select.tsx that captures left/right--even when the focus is on input and not on the menu:

Expected behavior
User should be able to click left/right arrow keys in text field.

Is this issue blocking you?
Not pretty but you can open a div under the Select and grab key down events and call stopPropagation on them to prevent them bubbling up to the Select and having those events being killed with preventDefault

Thanks for reporting this issue, but this version of the Select component has been deprecated now that we've released V5 so we don't plan to address non blocking issues for it going forward.

We will address this in the V5 version of Select.

@wise-king-sullyman Can we close this issue as it is related only to the deprecated Select? Problem with caret moving in V5 is related to Menu component and is now tracked by this issue: #9750

[wise-king-sullyman]

@adamviktora yes since the v5 work is being tracked in that new issue I think this one can be closed.
