How can I detect when a select box is closed?

Question

I am using jquery and both blur and focusout functions require an extra click after the select box is closed to fire. Is there another way to detect when the select box is immediately closed?

As @samsquanch and @bfavaretto point out in comments here, there seems to be no way to reliably detect, across the current browser generation, when a select list is closed. Which is mildly mind-boggling, but there you are.
