It seems that unbind('eventType', handler) unbinds all handlers for this event type and not only this handler.

I have 2 objects each of them subscribe itself to document's "mousedown" event:

$(document).bind('mousedown', this.onMouseDown);

However when one of the objects unsubscribes itself with this command:
$(document).unbind('mousedown', this.onMouseDown);
another object stops receiving 'mousedown' events (it's onMouseDown callback stops being called).

I'm using 1.4.2 version, 1.3.2 had the same behavior. Is it the correct behavior or it's a bug?

unbind multiple namespaced handlers don't work:
$(“#div1″).bind(“click.myName”, function(e) { alert(“1″); });
$(“#div1″).bind(“click.yourName”, function(e) { alert(“3″); });
$(“#div1″).unbind(“click.myName.yourName”);//still alert 1 and 3
