           Summary: pcre treats \a as special, whereas FF and IE do not
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://next.atnext.com/template/next/front.cfm
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: help.improve.safari at gmail.com


I Steps:
 Go to  http://next.atnext.com/template/next/front.cfm

 II Issue:
 In left nav bar , the image has a caption. In webkit, caption is not showing
in Chinese. Instead $av_caption$ is seen.

 III Conclusion:
 The issue here is PCRE handles \a as a special character, but the regexp
engine in FF and IE does not treat it as special.  
 FF just ignores the backslash if the character following it is not special.

 IV Other Browsers:
 IE7: ok
 FF3: ok

 V Nightly tested: 37819
