Programmatic value change on input field is ignored by Ctrl-Z and can't be "undo"-ne

Question

When I have an input field with a certain value in it, and some JavaScript changes its value, I used to be able to click into the field and hit Ctrl-Z in order to get the old value back.

It seems it doesn't work anymore, is that a recent update of the browsers? I am doing something wrong? Is there a way to make it work again?

setTimeout(function () {
  document.getElementById("name").value = ""
}, 2000);

<input type="text" id="name" value="Sylvain" />

I found that Chromium correctly undoes the change. At least for restoring past user input actions – Preempt

@Preempt I think you misread my question (unless I misread your comment), I'm only talking about "programmatic" changes to the text field, not user input actions. – Okhotsk

What I meant was: Input -> some change (likereplace) -> More input. Only Chrome correctly handles Ctrl-Z. I found that the Mozilla and MS browsers do not go back past the change. I realize that is not quite exactly your case, and also have no solution to offer. Hence the comment and not an answer. – Preempt

Oh ok I get it, thanks for the input (haha) then. – Okhotsk

Does this answer your question? Is it possible to edit a text input with javascript and add to the Undo stack? – Musil
