Description timeless (reporter) 2009-10-13 22:41:11 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:
1. find an evil site that builds a state machine
2. tap into a text field
3. change the text field
4. tap out of the text field

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
at 4 the 'change' event should fire in order to allow for the 'blur' event to
do something useful

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
the 'change' event isn't fired, which results in the 'blur' event messing up

REPRODUCIBILITY:
always

EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED:
a link to an evil web service

OTHER COMMENTS:
the web service is evil and should be fixed. oh and there's an html5 proposal
for a field property to prevent web services from writing evil code like this:

http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/common-input-element-attributes.html#attr-input-placeholder

Sadly, some evil web pages exist. Hopefully our customers won't encounter them,
since the page is designed just for us....

Created an attachment (id=1418) [details]
testcase

Note that from memory this was a design decision. So, we might fix this by
documenting it and then yelling at the site in question. Or we might spend
months trying to add more code ....

Yelling at the site in question seems exciting and might be easier (although,
having tried to yell at them for around a year, i have had a perfect failure
rate so ...)

fwiw, this also affects twitter's ability to tell you how many characters you
csn type bwfore hitting its limit.

it turns out this was reported internally in late august and fixed near the end
of september. as usual, it missed the first boat.

given it affects a major site, hopefully it'll make the next one.
