I've read about issues where the mousemove event is fired twice in Safari/Webkit, but the problem I'm facing is that mousemove fires even when the mouse is not moved. That is: it already fires when the mouse cursor is positioned above the context that the event is attached to when the page is loaded/refreshed. And because I'm attaching it to 'document' (entire viewport of the browser), it fires right away in Safari. I've tried to attach it to to html element, to the body and to a wrapper div. No change.

$(document).bind('mousemove', function() {
  alert('Mouse moved!');
  $(document).unbind('mousemove');
});

Is does work ok in other browsers. Anyone seeing what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
