890710 - input of type=range doesn't fire "change" event when it's clicked and gains focus

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Guilherme Gonçalves [:ggp]]

Attachment: example

An input element of type range doesn't fire the "change" event when it is modified by clicking the track while it's unfocused.

This can be reproduced by opening the attachment and clicking the track of the range input anywhere -- no event is fired, but the element gets focused. Clicking the track again anywhere else causes the event to be fired. Contrast this with the checkbox, which does fire the event (and also gains focus) when clicked while unfocused.

Confirmed that this also applies to Windows 8.
Adding focus handlers will cause those events to fire, but not the change ones. I can work on this.

Never mind, I'm too busy.

Also happens on OSX 10.8.4

I made a jsfiddle that shows the issue: http://jsfiddle.net/JASyr/1/

This might be loosely related: the (jQuery) change event is not fired when the range's value is changed using the keyboard right and left arrows, in Windows 7.

Reported 7 months ago and no update?

Seems to be fixed in FF 51 on Windows 10 64 Bit.
