Function in ng-change is fired before input is touched.

[JonasJonny]

Today I wanted to "upgrade" to 1.3.1.
Every piece of my app is working but ng-change not anymore.
My function "showPriority()" is called when template is rendering as many times as is items in an object speakers (deferred ajax result from laravel api).
It was working fine (function is called only when I will change the value of input) in 1.3.0-beta.19, but not in 1.3.0-rc.0+ (for 4 items is called 4x, when i will change the value +1x...).

Is there any difference in ngChange?

<div data-ng-repeat="item in speakers | orderBy:sortBy:reverse">
  <input type="text" data-ng-model="item.priority" data-ng-change="showPriority()">
</div>

Hi! It's halloween, terrible time to be filing bugs! (kidding, kidding). Could you post a quick reproduction of this on https://plunkr.co? That would be super helpful.

Hello Caitlin,
I debugged my code and I found out where is the problem.
It's input attribute maxlength. With maxlength="1" is function change() fired without touch.

It seems to be related to the input value not being a string, actually --- I can't reproduce if the value is a string to begin with. So what we're doing is, we're converting to a string to validate maxlength, and the model value is changing too because of this.

I'll see if I can make a patch for it

Is this perhaps related to my issue #9918

This is a terrible issue for us because every number is changed in string before we have set the parser.
We have to stay in 1.2 until it is fixed.
