Current behavior setting clearOnBlur does not remove input text for every scenario. See reproduction steps for details.

Expected behavior setting clearOnBlur to true should remove tag-input text everytime the control is blurred.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions (if applicable)

set clearOnBlur to true
type something in tag input
blur input immediately / do not wait for dropdown to show autocomplete items -> input text is removed as expected -> OK
type something in tag input again
wait for dropdown to apear with some autocomplete items
blur the input without setting focus on autocomplete items -> input text ist removed as expected -> OK
type something in tag input again
wait for dropdown to apear with some autocomplete items
hover over one of the autocomplete items / put focus on it with keyboard (by pressing keydown)
do not select any item, just blur the control by mouse-left-clicking somewhere outside the control
item is not selected / dropdown is closed / input text remains in input but should be deleted - NOT OK
