Description

jsFiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/hJwKC/4/

All browsers report 'true,true', except Chrome and Safari which both report 'false,true'. The same is the case for <input> tags.

I'm not sure what the expected behaviour is - whether an element should only report as focused after the focus handler has completed, but the cross browser inconsistency led me to believe it could be a bug. I realise it could also be a webkit bug (or feature).

Seems like a Webkit bug to me. One workaround is to use document.activeElement, which is also a lot more efficient than using .is() with a selector. For that reason I'll close this wontfix, you could file a bug with them if you want to use the selector anyway. http://jsfiddle.net/hJwKC/7/

Just to follow up even further, the API page on :focus seems to be aware of the bug and uses a setTimeout to achieve consistency: http://api.jquery.com/focus-selector/

Actually, this is really easy to fix. We can just declare chrome's matchesSelector buggy for ":focus".
