Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a datefield
2. Create a validation on it
3. Create a change function (to run an extra validate function)
4. make the datefield editable
5. Change the date it in runtime by typing it in

Actual Results:
It does not trigger the extra validation function

Expected Results:
It should trigger the extra validation function

Workaround (if any):
None.

Why does this happen.
Because the change event is Dispatched when a date is selected or changed, and the DateChooser control closes.

I dont understand why the change event is triggered only when also the datechooser control closes ?
When I type in a date, it also changes right ?
