Comment:

 Because the key pressed isn't available in the `change` event, this
 updates the code to add an additional eventlistener on keypress that
 records whether the `esc` key was pressed and prevents the change event if
 it was.

 This will also need to be updated in Gutenberg in
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/24b48886eec82287eef3e7b31f2122933f1ad038/packages
 /block-library/src/categories/index.php#L100

 Issue opened: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/71788

 Test instructions are in the original ticket raised.

 After the patch, clicking `esc` should *not* cause the page to navigate.
