<AutocompleteInput> freeSolo without clearOnBlur issue

[smeng9]

What you were expecting:

In https://mui.com/material-ui/react-autocomplete/ AutocompleteInput have both comboBox mode and freeSolo mode

For freeSolo mode user should be able to type in the input box without the need to click add ... from the suggestion list. E.g. https://mui.com/material-ui/react-autocomplete/#search-input

What happened instead:

1. The freeSolo mode prop seems is replaced by create or onCreate prop
2. After disabling the clearOnBlur prop, the form save button cannot be clicked even the form's value have changed.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Goto https://osy236.sse.codesandbox.io/#/comments/1
2. In the last AutocompleteInput box type something other than "comment1" in suggestion list, e.g. "comment2"
3. Click away from this input, so the inputbox should now have "comment2"
4. The form's save button is not enabled.

Other information:

The suggested behavior would be if freeSolo is true and onCreate is undefined, The user does not need to click the create button in the suggestion list in order to create. They should be able to type something and leave it there.

Hi, Thank you for submitting this. This does not really seems like a bug to me but rather a feature request. If I'm understanding this correctly the point is to save one click from the user right? I may be missing the point here, so feel free to argue if you disagree 😅

Yes, save-as-you-type. No need further user action to create an entry from popup dialog.
