So I have a bunch of code that represents a complex behaviour in ckeditor, anyway the code in question does this.

onNewDataAvailable(newData){

  this.cancelChangeTrigger = true;

  CKEDITOR.instances[this.name].setData(newData);

}



onSetup(){

  CKEDITOR.replace(this.name, this.config);

  CKEDITOR.instances[this.name].on('change', ()=>{

    if (this.cancelChangeTrigger){

      return;

    }



    let data = CKEDITOR.instances[this.name].getData();

    if (data !== this.currentData){

      this.dataHasUpdated(data);

    }

  });

  CKEDITOR.instances[this.name].on('key', ()=>{

    this.cancelChangeTrigger = false;

  })

}

Now the reason there is this cancelChange trigger was because every time that I called setData as new data is available I get an change event triggered just as ckeditor just wants to format things, even when the actual content hasn't changed; the cancelChangeTrigger allows me to cancel triggering a change event on my server side without the content actually changing.

So the cancelChangeTrigger was added, however it is more like a hack, and the problem now is that if the user has an image, cancelChangeTrigger remains false, and no change event is registered.

Is there a less hacky way to detect true change events?... for ckeditor 4 and 5, there will be a migration eventually.
