.find() : Getting the descendants filtered by a #id selector is only returning the first children.

Description

I think the .find() function is not working properly.

Getting the descendants filtered by a #id selector is only returning the first children.

Your markup is invalid; #id selectors match at most one element because every id attribute in a document should have a unique value.

It's worth noting that although this bug is invalid, the behaviour of jQuery prior to version 1.8 was to return multiple results from the find() function even when using an #Id selector.

See this example with jQuery 1.7.2

This is a potentially breaking change if code was relying on the previous incorrect behaviour of jQuery.
