SafariDriver does not fire change event when focus is lost on form field.

[lukeis]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 4061

In Safari, if you focus on a text input element (using JS), change its value, then focus
on another element, the "change" event is not fired.  Since the bot.action.type atom
leaves focus in the element, the change event would not fire on sendKey. The change
should fire on a subsequent command when focus is changed.

Safari does not detect the changed value (since it was done via JS), so it will not
automatically fire the change event. This means we'll need to track focus in the driver
and manually fire the change event where appropriate.

This causes the following test to fail:

Can anyone suggest a workaround for this  If (any)?

On comment #1, I believe the bug description specifies the workaround. You just need
to manually fire/execute the onChange event for the specified element via executing
the proper javascript. It means you'd need to know what is the proper javascript code
to execute for onChange event against given element. Your website/app developers can
probably help out with that.

Bumping this. Has this issue been fixed? I can't get safari to trigger the change event
after leaving focus on the input.
