Description
RichTextArea in Explorer does not fire value change events while the field has the focus. The event is fired only after user presses tab or clicks elsewhere on the page. The same component in Firefox and Chrome fires events whenever user pauses typing for a short type.
We need on the fly value change event while the user is typing in all browsers.
- Vaadin Framework version: 8.5.2
- Browser version: Internet Explorer 11; 11.0.9600.19155
- Minimal reproducible example: https://demo.vaadin.com/sampler/#ui/data-input/text-input/rich-text-area
- Expected behavior
The event is fired when pausing typing in all browsers, the focus loss is not necessary. - Actual behavior
Rich text area in internet explorer fires the event only after blur.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the RichTextArea behavior in the linked sampler using Internet Explorer 11, comparing it with Firefox and Chrome. Trace the value-change event entry point for RichTextArea; done means the event fires after a short typing pause in IE without requiring focus loss.
