This is a bug. I'm not sure there's a bug report about it. I'd really appreciate it if you'd file one. <http://webkit.org/quality/reporting.html> If you'd prefer not to, please let me know and I'll do it. I noticed that the thisObject argument was not used while working on some JavaScript speed-ups and never had time to follow up and check if it was actually broken. -- Darin _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
