When I have a computationally expensive flash animation running in my page, sometimes javascript keyUp listeners on a textfield are not being fired. Keydown events are not lost.

This only happens in IE8 (and IE7 in compatibility mode).

I need those keyup listeners! How can I solve / workaround this problem?

Ideas:

  • query the textfield myself (without the broken listener) if the key is down or up? can I do this?
