TextAreas onblur

[hoseyjoe]

I have a text area that I would like to save data when the field loses focus. Its element.onblur event doesnt appear to work. So I tried

this.registerEvent(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT, (e) -> {
trace("Boom2");
});

When you click outside of the textfield it loses the caret but the textfield still appears to retain focus style, though it doesnt accept key entree, until you click on another interactiveobject

In haxe.ui.focus.FocusManager.hx if you uncomment lines 37 and remove 41 then you can get a blur event to pass through, or at least adding a break point on 43 will work when clicking into a textfield and then clicking anywhere else.

In discussion it was decided to make sure that clicking outside and field still maintains focus. Focusout only fires when focus on another interactiveobject occurs. This appears to be more universal

Worth adding that clicking outside a focusable object that accepts text input (like textfield / textarea) on html5 has issues: the field remains visually focused (haxeui thinks its still focused), but you cant input text anymore (the browser doesnt think its focused) - this should be fixed
