jquery.on('focus') function does not allow selecting the text in input text field

I have one input text field
If I use jquery(document).on('focus',func) and call this.select() to select the text -> not work under IE11, works for FF31
If I use document.addEventListener('focus',func) and call this.select() to select the text -> work for both browser

Test Environment

IE11 64 bits under Win7
Firefox 31 under Win7
