Cannot fire/handle custom hover event in jQuery 1.7

[Gidon]

See the following fiddle: ​http://jsfiddle.net/s6gSe/ When running in jQuery 1.6.4, it works great. Going up to 1.7, the custom hover event is not anymore handled. While my custom dblclick event is still handled correctly.

This was introduced by the "fix" for #7139, which I would gladly remove given its confusing properties. Perhaps we can convince everyone to remove it.

I was trying to add a custom event called 'xyz.hoverUrl.set' and it replaces that event with 'mouseleaveUrl'

The regex is too permissive in the hoverhack. Please make it more specific.

test case:

var a = {}; $(a).bind('xyz.hoverUrl.set', function(){return});

look at events for a and you will see 'mouseleaveUrl'

@richhensel, that bug doesn't appear in 1.7.1 as far as I can tell, but if it does please create a new test case and ticket.

Now that #11731 has deprecated the "hover" event for 1.8, this may be fixable once that hack is removed.

[dmethvin]

Need to actually move the deprecated code and unit tests to the jquery-compat plugin and write a unit test showing a custom "hover" event can be triggered now.

Close #10882. Test case for "hover" event in 1.9
