DropdownList - 'Add New Item' button does not work in Safari

[vLutsevich]

Description

The "Add new item" functionality in the Kendo Angular DropdownList does not work in Safari. When typing a search term that triggers the "Add new item" button and clicking it, the item is not added to the dropdown. This issue only occurs in Safari — it works as expected in other browsers like Chrome.

Steps To Reproduce

1 Open the Add New Item example for the Kendo Angular DropdownList component.

2 Open the dropdown and type 'q' in the search field.

3 The "Add new item" button appears.

4 Click the button.
