Change Text Entry Variable without control losing focus?

Hey Curtis and to anyone else who finds themselves here. 

The code below detects when anyone types into any number of text input boxes on a Storyline slide. Whenever a key is pressed the text boxes lose focus for a millisecond and trigger the relevant 'lose focus' trigger in Storyline.

The 'console.log' line can be omitted from the code. If you keep it in, a message is displayed in the browser for testing purposes.

Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.acc-textinput')).forEach(el => {
    el.addEventListener('keyup', () => {
        console.log('someone is typing in a box...');
        el.blur();
        el.focus();
    })
});

A Storyline file is attached to demonstrate. Simply publish to HTML (web) or SCORM.
