Odd scroll-to-top behavior observed in IE8 when delegating to `tbody tr`

[cwolves@…]

See jsfiddle demo: ​http://jsfiddle.net/kfUcU/1/

In IE8, scroll down a bit and then click any item. For some reason the box jumps back to the top. This behavior goes away when changing the selector from:

$('#foo').delegate('tbody tr', 'click', function(){});

to almost anything else, such as:

$('#foo tbody').delegate('tr', ...

Tested 1.6.2, 1.6.4pre

Note that by "IE8" I am running IE9 in IE8 mode, though the cause of this report came from a user using an actual version of IE8

Confirmed, also this (IE SPECIFIC) page does not cause the issue:

Not sure what that is about.

Given the obscurity of the case I don't think we'll be able to put effort into investigating and patching. However, if someone can investigate further and has an idea about a patch, please post your findings.
