Select not focussed when clicking the arrow

[probert94]

Description

In an application I am working on, I wanted to listen to FocusEvents of a vaadin-select to trigger some logic.
Now I noticed, that the FocusEvents are not fired, if I click the small arrow button on the end of the vaadin-select, while they are fired when clicking somewhere else in the field.

Expected outcome

The behavior should be the same when I click the arrow

Minimal reproducible example

Here you can see that I added an eventlistener for "focus".
It only gets triggered when I click on the field but not when I click on the button.

VaadinSelectFocus.mp4

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the Select example
2. Open the console and register an eventlistener for "focus" on the vaadin-select.
3. Click somewhere on the select except the arrow -> it should log an event
4. Click somewhere outside to close the overlay -> another event should be logged
5. Click somewhere on the page to remove the focus from the vaadin-select
6. Click the arrow -> no event is logged

Notes

I was able to implement a workaround by calling this.focus() inside _onClick(event)

Environment

Vaadin version(s): 24.6.6

Issue is not browser related

Replicable with 24.9.2 but has to be very precise to replicate

The issue has already been fixed in #9573, which is cherry-picked to supported versions starting from 24.7

Can you provide more details on this? I tried to reproduce the issue on Vaadin docs (linked from the description of this issue), which is currently running 24.9.2.
However, I'm getting the "focus" events as expected:

• YES: If the focus is outside the field, clicking the arrow will focus the field before opening the dropdown
• YES: Whenever the dropdown is closed, either by selecting an item, clicking outside, or by other means, the focus is restored back to the field from the overlay
• NO: If the focus is already inside the field, clicking the arrow will only open the dropdown so there's no focus event

Thanks @tomivirkki for clearing this

Whenever the dropdown is closed, either by selecting an item, clicking outside, or by other means, the focus is restored back to the field from the overlay

I did a mistake here. Thought the outside click to close the overlay has removed the focus from the field. So my test result was the third case as you mentioned.
Checked again and it works fine. Thanks for checking.

Thank you for the information, I didn't notice this bugfix in the changelist.
