IX Select: Search field can confuse users into thinking they have entered a valid value

[rouven-s]

Prerequisites

• I have read the Contributing Guidelines.
• I have not leaked any internal/restricted information like screenshots, videos, code snippets, links etc.

What happened?

When initializing an IxSelect without default value, the search input field does not reset when unfocusing the component. Multiple customers of us therefore thought they could also add a new value by just typing it in the input field.

What type of frontend framework are you seeing the problem on?

Angular

Which version of iX do you use?

v2.4.1

Code to produce this issue.

See country field here:

Type e.g. "Germany - Bavaria", then tab/click out of the field. There is no way to visually differentiate the typed (invalid) value from a selected (valid) value
