[kupu-dev] Kupu and Safari

[Duncan Booth]

I managed to get hold of a Mac which means I can now use the Webkit 
debugger. If you enable kupu, then you get a Javascript error when you try 
to edit the default front page. This particular problem is because the 
function:

String.prototype.strip = function() {
    var stripspace = /^\s*([\s\S]*?)\s*$/;
    return stripspace.exec(this)[1];
};

doesn't like the content of the homepage, specifically it doesn't like the 
ellipsis character \u2026 which is contained in the string. It already 
seems to be a known bug: http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10370 
except that bug refers to \u2019. Sadly the last activity on the bug was 
more than 1 year ago. There is also what seems to be a duplicate issue 
athttp://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14877

Is there an easy way to get someone to actually fix this bug? Obviously I 
could work round it using (?:\s|\S)*? instead of the character class, but 
kupu depends heavily on regexps working properly so it would be easier if I 
didn't have to try to start patching them.
