onChange in Dojo widget not reaching the backend
Vote:
I'm trying to adapt a custom image cropper Dojo widget for Optimizely CMS 12. Images can be added to the widget by selecting through a button click and subsequently selecting the image from the assets, or by drag-and-drop.
When the image is added to the widget through drag-and-drop the onChange event reaches the back-end, and the page can be saved.
When adding the image through selection the onChange event is fired but the back-end is not notified. Also, just changing the crop dimensions does fire the onChange event, without reaching the back-end.
This is the code which is called in all scenario's:
Why would onChange work with drag-and-drop and not in the other cases? Is something more necessary to enable the onChange event to reach the back-end. The value passed is the same in all scenario's.

The answer from Optimizely Support was that in an editor where there is no real focus you have to set it explicitly with onStartEdit and onStopEdit.
The updated code is:
_setValue: function (value) {
this.onStartEdit();
this._set('value', value);
this.onChange(value);
this._updateDisplayNode(value);
this.validate();
this.onStopEdit();
}, This solved the problem!
