When you exit the field i.e. you click somewhere else, or tab into a

and an exitField message of there was no change.
On OS X, unfortunately, the closeField message is not sent when
another control (such as a button) is clicked.
The docs state, somewhat misleadingly,
"If the lookAndFeel property is set to "Macintosh", the closeField
message is generally not sent when another control (such as a button)
is clicked. This is because clicked buttons do not receive the focus
on Mac OS systems, and therefore the selection remains active."
This seems to indicate changing the lookAndFeel property changes the
behavior of closeField, which is not true! (On OS X, anyway)
Regardless of the lookAndFeel setting, in OS X, if you change the
text in an editable field, then immediately click on a popup menu or
button, closeField is not sent, because the text field doesn't lose
focus, and the cursor is actually still in the text field, you can
still type even after clicking around quite a bit.
This is unfortunate, forcing workarounds to check if the field
contents have changed manually...
