Description

When a focus related event is binded to an element, it is fired when the element loses the focus via browser way (tab key, mouse click). But when it loses focus via .focus() to another element, it doesn't fire. However, if the event is defined on the attribute of the element, it fires in both cases.

I attach a complete test: Control1 fires change event when loses focus with mouse or tab key, but doesn't fire change event when pressing enter key (which executes a focus on #submitbutton). In the other hand, Control2 fires change event in both cases. I've tested this on jQuery 1.5.1 and 1.3.2 in the following browsers: Firefox 4, IE9 and Chrome, and there is the same issue.

Duplicate of #7340.

I think that isn't the same issue, because it also happens with jQuery 1.4.2 and all the other jQuery versions. It seems to be a similar bug, not the same.
