SelectMenu: Exiting the SelectMenu with ESC in Chrome with JAWS fires Select onChange handler.

[witja46]

Describe the bug

With JAWS enabled in Chrome and Select dropdown expanded, pressing Escape closes drop-down and fires the Select onChange handler instead of just closing the drop-down. Without JAWS, it works as expected.
