 When a label is clicked on, `click` event is fired from both `<label>` and its associated input `label.control`. Since combobox does not know about the control, `combobox-commit` cannot be used as an indicator of the item's selection state.

+list.addEventListener('combobox-select', function (event) {
+  console.log('Element selected : ', event.target)
+})
