Comment (by afercia):

 Just wanted to quote the related specification, for clarity:

 https://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/events.html#Events-
 eventgroupings-keyevents
 > change
 > The change event occurs --> **when a control loses the input focus and
 its value has been modified since gaining focus** <--. This event is valid
 for INPUT, SELECT, and TEXTAREA. element.

 As said, historically many browsers have implemented it in an non-
 conforming way.
