Some keyboard interactions on a field with a currency mask does not dispatch a change event. Hence new values are only reflected inside the field but cannot be sended to a backend.
If I change the value by pressing keys 0 to 9 a change event gets dispatched.
If I change the value by pressing k, m, ArrowUp and ArrowDown NO change event gets dispatched.
At least for keyboard interactions k, m, ArrowUp and ArrowDown a change event should be triggered somewhen.
We may need a change event directly after keyboard interactions k, m, ArrowUp and ArrowDown, to ensure that the new value is saved even if the browser is closed before unfocus the field.

Version 5.0.9-beta.39, 5.0.8 and more are affected by this error. I have no evidence that type of browser or operating system is relevant.
Reason
applyInputValueis executed beforeblurEventapplyInputValuedoes set undoValue to the new valueblurEventdoes only dispatch a change event if undoValue is not equal to new valueProposed fix
Remove
inputmask.undoValue = inputmask._valueGet(true);and rely onblurEventto update undoValue.See Pull Request 2758
