#376 seems to only concern the issue of back-references to
non-participating capture-groups.
What I described was back-references to capture-groups within a
repetition. As the algorithm in the ECMA-262v3 is currently written, any
captures from the last iteration should be discarded.
#376 mentions it, but also says that this deserves a separate ticket. I
have not found any ticket on this specific issue.
I have recently found that also Google Chrome keeps the captures between
iterations.
URI: javascript:alert(/(?:(a)|(b))*/.exec("ababa"))
Firefox 3.0.1:
"ababa,a," <-- no "b"
Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.11 and Google Chrome 0.2.149.29:
"ababa,a,b" <-- "b" in the end
