jQuery stores the current content of a field whenever it gets the focus. Since the fixed function is also called for KeyUp events the change event is not triggered anymore when the input looses focus.
inst.dpDiv[(this._get(inst, 'isRTL') ? 'add' : 'remove') +
'Class']('ui-datepicker-rtl');
if (inst == $.datepicker._curInst && $.datepicker._datepickerShowing && inst.input &&
- inst.input.is(':visible') && !inst.input.is(':disabled'))
+ // #6694 - don't focus the input if it's already focused
+ // this breaks the change event in IE
+ inst.input.is(':visible') && !inst.input.is(':disabled') && inst.input[0] != document.activeElement)
inst.input.focus();
// deffered render of the years select (to avoid flashes on Firefox)
if( inst.yearshtml ){
