Description

While migrating to new version of Flex SDK 4.12.0 (from version 4.6) I found a bug or at least an unfortunate feature.
When passing the focus on component button, the button's click event is dispatched.

Required application state: If user (with actual focus in "tiTwo" text input) press the Enter key, focus is then passed on component button.
After pushing Enter on text input, click event must not be dispatched on "button".
