input $(this).is(':focus') return false on focus event (chrome)

[anonymous]

Browser: Google Chrome 27.0.1453.110 m (Works in Firefox 21.0)
Code: ​http://jsbin.com/uworek/1/

Expected result: Console logs true on focus
Real result: Console logs false on focus
(Sometimes false, false, true the first time and false afterwards)

Changing the jQuery version to 1.9.1 fixes the problem. 1.10.0 doesn't work either.

I think it may be related to this WebKit bug: ​https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=96385

We had a workaround at one point using document.activeElement but that was causing issues in IE.

This is a known bug, but as Dave said, the workaround required accessing activeElement more often, which crashed in IE in certain situations. Closing as duplicate of #13794. We'll track it there.
