Comment:

 This is a long known issue. But it's definitely worth addressing again, as
 browser handling of events has changed some since we last discussed it.

 At this point, we may be able to simply change the event to trigger on
 `onSelect` instead of `onChange`. This will subtly break the past
 behavior, since the event will fire later, so it's possibly something we
 should ship early and monitor for feedback.

 But it's something I've wanted to change for a long time, so I'm going to
 go ahead and milestone it and see what we can do.
