drag'n'drop in text fields

In those cases the selection change is a side effect of something else.  The user isn’t changing the selection, the user is doing something else that changes the selection.  As this thread covered, the textchanged message is sent.

I think it fully makes sense to only send one of those two messages.  Otherwise just about every key press inside a field would generate 2 messages.

Thanks,
Brian
