Comments
Reducing to minor and not targeting to a release because I believe the behavior being observed is expected, but I'm not ready to close it out entirely until further analysis has been made.

This may well be expected behavior on the TextArea. The general rule is, if a UI control uses an event, it should consume the event, which would prevent additional event handlers from receiving those events. If you use a filter instead of a handler you should be seeing all these events.
