Clicking Select doesn't properly collapse overlay

[TomJGooding]

It looks like there might have been an unintended change to the behaviour of the Select widget.

You can reproduce this using the basic example from the docs. Try clicking the Select to expand the overlay, then click it again. This should collapse the overlay, but it now quickly pops back up again.

I haven't dived into details yet but it looks like the relevant commit is ab9ea3f.

I don't understand why yet, but I found if you click exactly on the ▲ arrow everything works as expected.

I noticed that. Weird. It's something to do with the mechanism that hides the drop down with the widget is blurred. But I haven't dug up any more than that...

Comparing the logs from textual console, if you click the arrow the SelectOverlay seems to be hidden before the Static arrow is hidden. For reasons I don't understand yet, this means the Click event which triggers the Toggle message is never actually fired, yet everything works as expected. Whereas clicking anywhere apart from the arrow also then fires the Click event, causing the overlay to expand again after just being collapsed.
