JQuery's trigger method doesn't populate currentTarget

[ArkadyKarev]

This problem (see subject) makes jQuery not completely compatible with some libs, which uses currentTarget.

For example following example will not work correctly: ​http://jsfiddle.net/makfruit/C5QH3/ go to "Vegetables > *Cucumber" and press "Activate next" button. It will perform only radio button changes, but attached handlers will not be triggered. If we will click radio buttons manually, we can see the changes in price and description, etc.

The following workaround will help: var event = jQuery.Event('change'); event.currentTarget = event.target = parent[0]; parent.trigger(event); but anyway it seems like jQuerry bug.

Also I found the same requests in GWT groups. ​http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=8634

Another words - jQuery not completely compatible with latest version of GWT - one of most popular Java frameworks for web apps, and probably with another libs.

We can populate event.currentTarget but it also seems like this is a regression in GWT if it worked previously. So if GWT doesn't fix the regression on their end it won't be possible to use anything but the most recent version of jQuery with GWT.
