Text box widget saves input only when you click outside

Issue #660 wontfix
Radu Cantor created an issue

The text box widget saves data and sends it to the server only when the user clicks outside of the widget.

This should save text on the fly, similar to how the advanced settings are sent to the server.

    Hi Radu,
    This may not be the behaviour you expect but I think from a feature perspective this is expected behaviour. The text box is just a single cell widget. So if you think of it like updating values in the grid, as long as the cursor is active within a cell then update is in progress. We don't send the value to TM1 until the update is complete, i.e. when that cell is exited via tab, or return, or clicking elswhere on the screen. Same logic for text box widget except the only option to signal that the update has finished is that the input is no longer in progress, i.e. the cell is no longer active.
