Affected Version:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Copy characters into clipboard
2. Edit commit message
3. Select characters by double clicking a sequence
4. Paste

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The submit button should enable so that I can save the change. Instead it stays disable until I click out and back in the textarea again


Please provide any additional information below.

This happens a lot when changing things like "Bug: 123" to "Bug: 124" where I just navigated to  bug 123  and found a reference to the more relevant  bug 124 . Copy the ID (or hash) and paste it in the editor.

It's probably being too oldfashioned and only listening for onkeyup, instead of the modern 'onchange' event (perhaps bind to onpaste as well).

The commit message editor was removed in Gerrit 2.11. Editing the commit message is now done by using the inline edit feature [1].
