Hope it will be fixed ASAP (in 1.1.3 release ?).
This pops up here regularly. The dot has a special meaning in CSS (being
a class selector). Thus a selector "#div_container.bug" will select the
following element:
<div id="div_container" class="bug">
So far, that is not even a bug, it is expected behavior as jQuery
implements CSS selectors.
If you want to take away the special meaning of special characters in
CSS, you need to escape them with a backslash "\":
The selector "#div_container\.bug" will select the desired element:
<div id="div_container.bug">
This has been fixed already:
