Just saw this question. Because I was facing the similar problem. 

Did some hack and it worked for me. You can use KeyUpHandler but use it with additional if block that checks for length of textbox. If length of text box is > 0, do your thing. Ex:

textBox.addKeyUpHandler(new KeyUpHandler() {
    @Override
    public void onKeyUp(KeyUpEvent keyUpEvent) {
    if (textBox.getText().length() > 0) {
    //do your stuff`enter code here`

    }
    }
