Sample HTML reproduction case

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open attached HTML in Safari iOS.
2. Touch inside the <input> element to show the software keyboard.
3. Touch the keyboard widget to dismiss the software keyboard.

Actual results: The <select> element menu pops up.

Expected results: The <select> element menu does not pop up.

I can reproduce this bug with every configuration I've tested: iPhone and iPad devices, iOS 14, iOS 15 beta, and iOS 12.

To clarify — is this referring to the "Done" button on the software keyboard?

No, the ^ widget. The intention is to cancel and not enter any text into the input.

The ˄ and ˅ buttons above the software keyboard move focus between form controls. Pressing ˄ focuses the previous form control (in this case a select, which shows a popover or context menu, depending on iOS version).

You're right, I was looking at the wrong button to dismiss the keyboard. Sorry! I'm marking this bug as invalid.
