" @keywords livechange keystroke queue busy roundtrip dropped event check_queue_last s_ctrl
" @summary Two identical liveChange wires side by side: the plain one drops every keystroke typed while a round-trip runs, the one registered with check_queue_last keeps the last of them, so the backend ends on what you typed.
"! abap2UI5 serializes round-trips: while one is in flight the app is busy and
"! an event fired meanwhile is DROPPED. Right for a click, wrong for a wire
"! that fires per keystroke - typing `abc` at once leaves the backend at `a`
"! until the user pauses and types again. s_ctrl-check_queue_last keeps the
"! LAST event fired during the flight in a one-slot buffer and dispatches it
"! once the response has landed: one round-trip at a time, order preserved,
"! the backend ends on the control's current value.
"!
"! Needs abap2UI5 newer than 1.144.0 - check_queue_last is appended to
"! ty_s_event_control after that release; on an older framework the class
"! does not activate (unknown component of s_ctrl).
