**Bugfixes:**
- [.select()](https://on.cypress.io/select) will now fire a `focus` event on the `<select>` even if the window isn't in focus.
- [.click()](https://on.cypress.io/click) has been upgraded to be more intelligent about firing `focus` events, and now takes into account the previously focused element.
- [.type()](https://on.cypress.io/type) and [.clear()](https://on.cypress.io/clear) will not issue `change` events or `focus` events unnecessary when chaining together multiple actions which do not change the element or cause it to lose focus. Fixes [#47](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/47).
