Event: Don't crash if an element is removed on blur

mgol · mgol · commit aaf9c55ad252 · 2020-10-19T21:21:54.000+02:00
In Chrome, if an element having a `focusout` handler is blurred by clicking outside of it, it invokes the handler synchronously. If that handler calls `.remove()` on the element, the data is cleared, leaving private data undefined. We're reading a property from that data so we need to guard against this. Fixes gh-4417 Closes gh-4799 (cherry picked from commit 5c2d087)
