It has been. https://forum.jquery.com/topic/selectors-variable-assignment-and-strange-behavior

In regards to specifics:

1. On a click event a new row of form elements are created with a conventional array naming scheme. (row1: txt[0][item1], txt[0][item2], row2: txt[1][item1], txt[1][item2])

2. On same click event a wildcard selector is used to loop over each new row element assigning a bind event.

3. During the blur bind event a replacement is done on the currently selected form element and assigned to a new variable to be used within a secondary wildcard selector.

The problem is the secondary selector returns an empty object. However upon testing and verification the wildcard selector used is accurate.

It looks like the thread is still going on, and the "test case" is too large to show whatever problem is implied by the vague title "Selector and unexpected behavior".

There are a lot more people on the forum to help solve a problem like this, when you have a lot of code and it's not clear the problem is a bug in jQuery. This area is for reporting bugs in jQuery.

Just leave this ticket closed, and open a new one *when you have a clear description and test case that demonstrates a bug.*
