Thanks for the report @foxylion! This is a regression, we'll be working on it 👍🏼

I can confirm v5 and v6 behavior is different:

• v5: https://v5.mui.com/material-ui/react-autocomplete/#combo-box
• v6: https://mui.com/material-ui/react-autocomplete/#combo-box

@DiegoAndai Sorry to ping, but why a fast response here while my regression on Autocomplete gets no attention? Please if you don't mind at least checking or ask someone to check...

#43982 might be the solution for this one as well. Working on it.

#43982 has been merged, and this should be fixed with it. The fix will be included in next week's release.

@foxylion, if you have any issues next week, please reach out to @aarongarciah. I'll be out for a couple of weeks, so if you tag me, I won't be able to respond.
