The problem with this approach is that this event is also generated
when the window loses focus for any other reason, e.g., when a system
pop-up temporarily grabs then focus. This causes the "this field has
changed" logic to trigger before the field entry is complete.

For example, if a field must contain a 4 digit code, and a system
pop-up appears when the user has entered only 3 digits, after
dismissal of the pop-up he will get a warning that the input is
only 3 digits, and hence invalid.
