[FLEX-34339] Components don't focusOut when removed from stage

• Type: Bug
• Status: Resolved
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Not A Problem
• Affects Version/s: Apache Flex 4.12.0
• Fix Version/s: Apache Flex 4.13.0
• Component/s: .Unspecified - Framework

Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Import and run attached project.
2. Click on numeric stepper and then on button. Notice that focusIn and focusOut events are dispatched by numeric stepper as expected.
3. Shift+Click on the numeric stepper (this will remove it from stage in 600ms).

Actual behaviour: focusOut is not dispatched by numeric stepper when it's removed from stage.
Desired behaviour: I expect that a focused component should be de-focused when removed from stage.

NOTES:
-This causes at least one other bug: FLEX-34340.
-Not sure if this is a flash player bug or SDK bug. Or it could be a feature, but definitely not an intuitive one.
-I have a feeling this is related to FLEX-20416 (couldn't check, since the attachment is not on the ticket).
