Item selection seems to be broken sometimes

[janmyler]

We had a bug reported of a user not being able to select an item from the suggestions.

I traced the problem to GeosuggestItem.onClick and Geosuggest.hideSuggests functions. There's a 100ms timeout before the state in Geosuggest component changes to hide the suggestions. If user clicks on a GeosuggestItem, the hideSuggests function is executed at the same time (on blur). If user doesn't release the mouse button to actually trigger a click event, the list of suggestions is gone and nothing has been selected.

What would be the most correct solution to this problem? Increasing the timeout interval in hideSuggests or simply using onMouseDown event in the GeosuggestItem instead?

I think mousedown could be solution, but then a user cannot “abort” a select by moving the clicked mouse away. Any ideas?
