Menubar: (it even exists in the docs) on root list; it selects first element on click, replaces it with the right one when click is released

[ahmetmaruferdogan]

Describe the bug

When clicked and held down on the red dot, it highlights the first element. The aria-activedescendant prop having first item as selected (shown below).

When click is released it corrects itself:

it is a minor inconvenience but it causes flickering when the menu item is selected for the first time.

(mine only has css coloring changes. no semantic changes to the code I took from the docs thus it can be replicated in the docs as well. here -> https://primereact.org/menubar/#template )

Reproducer

https://stackblitz.com/run?file=src%2FApp.tsx (it is considered temporary project thus has no direct blitz link. Use the docs instead. the bug also exist here -> https://primereact.org/menubar/#template )
