.remove() method used on cloned [.clone(true)] element unbind events from original element

[bumper]

hi, I find this annoying bug.

When I clone element with ".clone(true)" method, then I remove it with ".remove()", it unbind all events from original element. When ".detach()" was used for removing it's ok, but it shouldn't work that way.

I've just stumbled across this as well. I've created a JSFiddle which shows the issue: ​http://jsfiddle.net/2jFDd/2/ .

Note that this problem occurs only in IE6/7 and only if you use the DOM method cloneNode - it does not occur if you use $().clone. IE8+ and all other browsers appear to get this right, so it looks to me that internally when cloning nodes IE is keeping a reference to the original :-(.

If you use oldIE DOM.cloneNode() directly then yes, that will circumvent all the hard work jQuery does for you under the covers. So don't do that.
