Focus cannot be reset using $('#someSelect').chosen().change( ... )

[scaleupcto]

The focus cannot be set into input using the chosen().change( .. ) event handler..

<input id='someInput' type='text'/>
<select id='someSelect'>
  <option value='someVal'>Some Value</option>
  <option value='someVal2'>Some Value 2</option>
</select>

    $("#someSelect").chosen().change(function() {
         $("#someInput").first().focus();
     });

I'm not really sure what about Chosen is keeping that focus from firing. I tried moving the trigger("change") call to the end of the select function, but that didn't seem to make a difference with the code you provided.

If you put the focus inside a brief timeout, it works as expected. A little less elegant, but it works. I made a Fiddle that shows it in action, but the gist of it is below.

    $("#someSelect").chosen().change(function(evt){
        setTimeout(function(){
            $("#someInput").focus();
        },50);
    });

Thanks for the workaround, which is worth a mention in the documentation.
