AutoSelect weird behavior in virtualized SelectCombobox during Touch Events

[marilari88]

Current behavior

Hi @diegohaz,

I'm encountering an issue when combining Ariakit's SelectCombobox with Virtua, specifically when autoSelect="true" is enabled. The functionality generally works well, but on mobile devices, I’ve noticed some unusual behavior.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Type into the combobox input.
2. Attempt to scroll using a touch event.

Observed Behavior:
Scrolling becomes impossible because the focus repeatedly returns to the first auto-selected element, interrupting the scrolling action.

This issue is also present in the example with selectRenderer

Screenshots:

1. 
2. 

Could you please look into this? Any guidance or fixes would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Expected behavior

I expect to scroll through the filtered SelectItems smoothly, similar to the experience on non-touch devices.

Thanks for the report! The best workaround I can think of right now is to disable autoSelect when you detect a touch device.
