link element blur() in Fullscreen on IE 11 error

[john@…]

When trying to .blur() a link element, an error occurs. I'm not too sure if this is a jQuery bug or an IE bug.

Error:

SCRIPT16389: Incorrect function. File: jquery-1.11.0.min.js, Line: 3, Column: 10141

jQuery version 1.11.0 IE 11 (11.0.9600.17031) Windows 8

To reproduce:

1. Go here: ​http://jsbin.com/gisoquho/1

2. Open Developer tools and switch to the console

3. Click the red rectangle, it should go into fullscreen - click the link that says "Click Me!" - you should get an error in the console, which may or may not hang IE. If it hangs, ctrl-t to create a tab.

Note: None of the CSS is necessary to cause this bug, but it makes for a good visual demo. I'm also using (mostly) IE's fullscreen example code.

I have logged this issue in Microsoft internal bug tracking system (PS: 636128). Will provide update here when we make further progress on this.

This bug is esoteric enough that I will leave it for Microsoft. If it isn't fixed soon and becomes a commonly reported issue we could investigate a workaround.
