Description Ryosuke Niwa 2013-11-07 00:32:14 PST 
Maybe, potentially consider merging https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/665a494066b51c45bcbe84485803a9a3e3c8011f

But Document::setFocusedElement has the following comment:

        oldFocusedElement->dispatchFocusOutEvent(eventNames().focusoutEvent, newFocusedElement); // DOM level 3 name for the bubbling blur event.
        // FIXME: We should remove firing DOMFocusOutEvent event when we are sure no content depends
        // on it, probably when <rdar://problem/8503958> is resolved.
        oldFocusedElement->dispatchFocusOutEvent(eventNames().DOMFocusOutEvent, newFocusedElement); // DOM level 2 name for compatibility.

so I'm not sure if we should be firing it in more places.

At least this patch makes our behavior consistent though.

See also: bug 47014, which says that we should drop support for these events.

^Following commit removed --> obsolete DOM Level 2 "DOMFocusIn" / "DOMFocusOut" events, I am going to mark this as "RESOLVED WONTFIX". Thanks!
