URL: https://github.com/apache/commons-lang/pull/1834

   `StrSubstitutor` takes the escape character from the end of a substituted 
value when another variable follows it directly in the template:
   
   ```java
   Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();
   map.put("price", "5$");
   map.put("x", "X");
   new StrSubstitutor(map).replace("${price}${x}"); // "5${x}", expected "5$X"
   ```
   
   After `${price}` is replaced, `substituteRecursive` resumes scanning at the 
end of the inserted value, and the escape check (`pos > offset && chars[pos - 
1] == escape`) reaches back into that value. The value loses its trailing `$` 
and `${x}` is passed through unresolved, so whoever supplies a value can stop 
the next template variable from being substituted. The class Javadoc places the 
escape in the template, in front of a variable reference.
   
   The fix only accepts an escape character at or after the end of the last 
substitution. Escapes written in the template, escapes inside a value, 
`preserveEscapes` and nested/recursive substitution behave as before. The new 
`testReplaceValueEndingWithEscape` fails without the change (`expected: <The 
price is 5$lazy dog.> but was: <The price is 5${target}.>`) and passes with it.
   
   Commons Text 1.15.0 `StringSubstitutor` behaves the same way (`"5${x}"` for 
the input above), so the same change applies there.

   - [x] Run a successful build using the default 
[Maven](https://maven.apache.org/) goal with `mvn`; that's `mvn` on the command 
line by itself.
   - [x] Write unit tests that match behavioral changes, where the tests fail 
if the changes to the runtime are not applied. This may not always be possible, 
but it is a best practice.
   - [x] Write a pull request description that is detailed enough to understand 
what the pull request does, how, and why.
   - [x] Each commit in the pull request should have a meaningful subject line 
and body. Note that a maintainer may squash commits during the merge process.
