Baseweb: [Select] Cursor inserted at beginning instead of end of value

[kylegach]

Current Behavior

Sandbox: https://codesandbox.io/s/ndonk?module=/example.tsx

1. Select an option
2. Click into the Select
3. Notice the text cursor is inserted at the beginning of the value

I understand that this behavior may be intentional, as it allows the user to "just start typing" to choose a new value. That conflicts with the behavior of a standard text input, though, so I would encourage a different approach.

Expected Behavior

1. Select an option
2. Click into the Select
3. The text cursor is inserted at the end of the value

If you agree this is an issue and can provide some guidance on where to get started, I'm happy to try my hand at a fix.
