‘Commit on Focus Loss’ functionality doesn’t seem to work when ‘Defer Updates’ is enabled. When I have defer updates enabled on the component I have to the hit enter or tab key or select another component to commit the change or else the updated value is not committed.

I have noticed something similar. When you click away from an entry box, the focus is not lost until another component is selected. Very annoying.
