… with zone.js The combobox was using an effect to decide whether to close the overlay, however this was brittle because it relied on the effect scheduler to run once all bindings have been evaluated. This was breaking down with Zone.js which seemed to fire the effect for each signal change individually. These changes resolve the issue by moving the logic into the `focusout` handler which gives us a better indication about where the event is coming from. Fixes angular#33516.

I'm not a big fan of the timeout, but I don't know if there's a better way to give it some time for focus to move into the popup.
