#2288 — 21.2.5.2.1: font spillover


In 21.2.5.2.1 "Runtime Semantics: RegExpExec Abstract Operation",
step 6 says:
Let global be the result of ToBoolean(Get(R, "global")).
and step 8 says:
Let sticky be the result of ToBoolean(Get(R, "sticky")).
In each case, the left-parens and left quote are in serif font,
but the right quote and right-parens are in fixed-width font.

Change the right-parens to serif font,
and make the quotes match. (I suggest changing the left quote to fixed-width, rather than changing the right to serif, but the spec isn't entirely consistent on this point).


fixed in rev22 editor's draft


In rev22, the right-parens *are* now in a serif font,
but they've also become bold, which they shouldn't be.


fixed in Rev22 (January 20, 2013) release


No, not quite fixed in rev22, see comment #2.

(BTW, the steps in question are now labelled 7.d and 8.)


fixed in rev25 editor's draft


confirmed fixed.
