Seems to be a bug in how we handle the virtual focus between the input and the items in the list. We dispatch virtual blur events between the input and the items in the list in an effort to make sure only one or the other has visible focus but that inadvertently causes the input field to lose isFocused rather than just isFocusVisible when the item is focused (in this case via hover). We could opt for including custom information in the dispatched events perhaps to inform useFocusRing that it should be changing isFocusVisible instead
