Description

Event-handlers that are registered natively are called even if event.stopPropagation() is called when jQuery.click() is used.

Using the native HTMLelement.click() correctly stops propagation.

Link to test case

I the following test case, both, a HTMLelement.click() and a jQuery.click() are triggered when the page is loaded.

In both cases, the event bubbling is prevented. The jQuery.click() is still triggered on the document event-handler.
