The proper way to fix this is to make selection more uniform. Simply put, if the combobox changes its value, it should immediately generate an onChange event. If the list is dropped down, the list should *never* generate an onChange event. Nonetheless, fixing this before bug 34297 will put me in Merge Hell. I'm willing to fix it afterwards, so I'm setting the bug dependency. Apologies if this is a problem.
Depends on: 34297

This has worked for me for a long time. In fact, I filed bug 110800 to make onchange fire onblur for keyboard users instead of when the user hits the arrow key.
