userEvent.clear() on DatePicker causes "Maximum update depth exceeded" in v9

[perryf]

Describe the bug
After upgrading from v8 to v9, using userEvent.clear() followed by userEvent.type() on a controlled input in tests consistently throws: Maximum update depth exceeded. This worked fine in v8.

Environment

• Version: react-datepicker 9.1.0
• React: 19.2
• Test environment: jsdom, @testing-library/user-event v14, Vitest

To Reproduce

const [date, setDate] = useState(new Date('2026-12-15'));
<DatePicker selected={date} onChange={setDate} />
await userEvent.clear(input);
await userEvent.type(input, '12/17/2025');  // → Maximum update depth exceeded

Workaround:

• use fireEvent instead

fireEvent.change(input, { target: { value: '12/17/2025' } });

Expected behavior
userEvent clears datepicker field then types entered date
