"change" event on a select box causes problems when using the keyboard

Hi, I recently upgraded from jquery 1.4.2 to 1.7.2. It seems like the way the change event works for select elements in IE has changed. In jquery 1.4.2, if you are using a keyboard to move up and down in the select button options, the event is only fired when you hit the enter key while focused on an option. However in jquery 1.7.2 it seems like the event is fired as soon as you move to a different option, which makes the dropdown unusable if you are using a keyboard. I tried this in IE 7 and 9. In Firefox it seems like it still works as I expected (event is fired when user hits enter after moving to an option) Was this change intentional? Is there another way I can implement this, maybe using a different event?
