Selectmenu: Incorrect navigation when typing while menu is open

Description
When typing repeating characters, the wrong item is selected from the menu. You can compare the results when typing "55" using this example: https://jsfiddle.net/jrmLfkob/23/
In the native input, the expected "55" option is selected, but in the jQuery UI menu the "5.7" option is selected instead.
The reason behind this behaviour is in these lines of code (https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/blob/master/ui/widgets/menu.js#L247-L248), but because I don't know the original intent of this functionality I don't dare to just delete them.

The behavior we've implemented matches the behavior of the native select when the menu is closed. This will be interesting to deal with since the concept of being open or closed comes from selectmenu, but the keyboard navigation comes from menu.
