Unable to bind mouseenter/mouseleave events for SVG elements

[jamesh@…]

The mouseenter/mouseleave don't appear to be firing correctly when using jQuery in conjuction with SVG (Raphael 2.0). I know out of the box SVG jQuery isn't 100% compatible with SVG, however, as far as I can see it only seems to effect IE9.

The weird thing is if you rapidly move your mouse on/off the svg element (making sure you come right off the HTML pane in doing so) and back onto it the events do fire (but not everytime). Just to make sure it wasn't a general problem with on I hooked up the click event which works fine, everytime.

I found this  similar thread, however, there was no clarification on whether a ticket had been opened for it plus it was for an older version.

 jsFiddle demonstrating the problem.

Can you verify that your test case is working properly in IE9 with "jQuery (edge)" selected? It seemed to work for me.

Actually, you'll need to delete jquery.min.js under Resources and add  http://code.jquery.com/jquery-git.js. Please always use the uncompressed jQuery for test cases, btw.

Will do in future (this is my first ticket).

Actually switching the managed resource to jquery-git.js seems to have fixed it. So can we confirm this is a bug in 1.7.2?

[dmethvin]

Well, "we" are trying to get 1.8 done at the moment. :) I got your original fiddle to fail in 1.7.2, but switching to jquery-git made it work. I'm not sure which change fixed this bug. If you're familiar with git you could do a bisect on the code and see if we have a test case for the fix to prevent a regression.
