Text Area change Events?

Hey,

I am trying to figure out how to hook into the text area value change events. The current problem I am running into is on IE 11 or Microsoft Edge when you type anything into a text area entry on the property panel it fires a value change event which then causes the property panel to reload (This only happens if you pause typing for 500ms or so).

I would like to stop the value change event from firing until a user clicks away from the text area or stops typing for a long time (2 mins?).

Looks like this behavior is specific to IE / Microsoft Edge since it works beautifully in chrome and it waits until a user clicks away from the text area entry.

If there is a way to hook into this any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Nick
