Bug 27519 - It is a bit unclear what "has changed the value" means if a user changes the value and then changes it back before the control loses focus. I believe the correct thing to do in those cases is to not fire the event.

It is a bit unclear what "has changed the value" means if a user changes the
value and then changes it back before the control loses focus. I believe the
correct thing to do in those cases is to not fire the event.

Comment 1 Daniel Bratell 2014-12-04 17:43:59 UTC 
The text mentioned combined with 4.10.5.5 which says "the events are fired to indicate that the user has interacted with the control" makes it a little unclear if writing a letter and then deleting it should result in an event or not.
