bug: ion-input ionChange fires also when value is changed externally

[Suxsem]

Bug Report

Ionic version:
[x] 5.x

Current behavior:
I'm using Ionic-VUE

                  <ion-input
                    :value="locationText"
                    @ionChange="getPlacePredictions($event.target.value)"
                    ></ion-input>

The getPlacePredictions functions shows a list of search results. When a user click on one of them I update locationText to reflect the user choice.
But then ionChange fires again, showing again the list of search results.

Expected behavior:
The ionChange event should only fire when the value is changed from the input component, NOT when it's changed externally.

Thank you

Thanks for the issue. I am going to close this as a duplicate of #20106 (same underlying behavior).
