It`s not closed : "live" / "delegate" bug about ":enabled" filter

[alix]

With regard to jQuery Documentation(:enabled) on ​http://api.jquery.com/enabled-selector/ describing : ".... In other words, the bare $(':enabled') is equivalent to $('*:enabled'), so $('input:enabled') should be used instead. .... "

But in fact the subject is different. Let's take a look:

AND
I had made similar Ticket previously ​http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/12288 but someone closed it. Hey jQuery! can you please and let users to have more time to complete the ticket (for example posting fiddle code)
I think with this harassingly hard bug mechanism of jQuery, people will be satisfied to report no more bugs

I mean : "harassingly hard bug report mechanism"

The .live method cannot be used in a chain like that, see the documentation. Also, .live is deprecated.

OK there is no problem with .live because the actual bug is from :enabled selector returning different result against :not(:disabled) and the bug is same with live and delegate.
As described in documentation : ":enabled" should be like "*:enabled" NOT "input:enabled". This problem makes extremely hidden bugs in the programmer's code. Please check the fiddle code :

These are different things. "[disabled]" means it has a disabled attribute, regardless of the attribute's value. :enabled and :disabled are jQuery extensions, implemented this way:

"enabled": function( elem ) {
    return elem.disabled === false;
},
"disabled": function( elem ) {
    return elem.disabled === true;
},

The value of the .disabled property can have other values, such as undefined, that would mean it is neither enabled nor disabled. It usually doesn't make sense to ask about the enabled/disabled state of elements that don't have an intrinsic notion of that--mostly input elements.
