Icefaces selectInputText cancelling valueChangeListener on loss of focus

Question

I have a selectInputText box that I am using the auto complete functionality. The problem is when the user doesn't need it and types in the value quickly and tabs to the next field, the selectInputText will grab focus back and really messes up the user who has already moved on and typing in the next field. Any way on loss of focus to cancel the valueChangeListener request?

<ice:selectInputText id="myListTextbox" rows="#{myBean.defaultListLength}" width="50" value="#{myBean.selectedPrefix}" valueChangeListener="#myBean.prefixInputValueChanged}" partialSubmit="true">
