fix(autocomplete): reopening when clicking an option in IE (#5172)

Fixes an issue that caused IE to reopen the autocomplete panel if the user clicks to select an item. It seems that IE can delay refocusing the input after the panel has been closed, which causes the focus handler to reopen it.

Fixes #5165.
