Bootstrap-datepicker: Regression: changeDate event is broken for manual date input since 1.7.1

[McNetic]

Expected behaviour

When typing in the date input field and thus entering a date manually or changing the date, the changeDate event should be triggered

Actual behaviour

This is a regression since version 1.6.1. At least in 1.7.1 and 1.8.0, the changeDate event is broken when manually entering/changing the date in the input field

Datepicker version used

1.8.0

I have a #2367 ready to fix the issue. Unfortunately, I did not get feedback on it, so I assume I have to open a ticket.

Could anyone please have a look at this?

Is there any fix for this yet?

With 1.8.0 with Chrome, this is an issue. There's numerous bug reports for this issue...

Hello guys, this issue is still active in 1.9.0 with chrome last version.

its a really bad bug, im surprise it was not solved in two years.

Is this library still active ?

[Ben-CA]

Agreed - I was surprised that 1.9 was released without this having been addressed. Would be nice to get a fix for this.

as a workaround guys you can listen to the input change event, it will work on both case (select date on the date picker or write directly)
var lObj = $('#' + id); lObj.datepicker(); lObj.on('change', function (event, items) { var lDate = lObj.datepicker('getUTCDate'); //do what you want with the date });

But im still not sure if i want in my app a library with this kind of bug...
