jQuery leaves textnodes in replaceWith

[Sebmaster]

I think the title describes the problem pretty good. If i call replaceWith on a text node (in this case, don't have the time to test much further), replaceWith only replaces with content inside of HTML-tags.

It worked for me in jQuery 1.4a1 and jQuery 1.3.2. Might be related with #5483?

testcase showed the wrong situation

I'm seeing this bug also, here's a test case comparing 1.3.2 against 1.4:

You can also see it in the wild if as this technique of replacing textNodes is being used in Snap Bird:

The text shouldn't read just "git" it should be the full tweet with git in bold.

On further investigation, since replaceWith uses detach to "clean" the string, I can verify that there's a bug in detach:

The alert should show 'hello <i>world</i>', but only shows 'world'

This seems to also occur when I use the jQuery() function itself.

Fixed with jQuery 1.4.2.

As Sebmaster states, this appears to have been fixed in jQuery 1.4.2 and currently works through 1.4.3 and 1.4.4 RC2 ​http://jsfiddle.net/addyosmani/LReun/. Closing as fixed unless there are any comments to the contrary.
