Ahh the rare self-closing bug. Keep the ticket open long enough, and maybe the standards group will adopt your behavior! It's cool that the large browsers had standardized on the same non-standard behavior. Makes total sense for WHATWG to adopt it, right?

As far as I can make out, that isn't what happened in this case. It seems to me that WHATWG settled on the behaviour that the reporter of 255107 originally asked for, and Firefox recently changed to match. The work just wasn't tracked in the 14-year-old 225107 (looks like it's in 1324406).

> Keep the ticket open long enough, and maybe the standards group will adopt your behavior! But the description of the spec-fix[1] says it aligns with the behavior of all the browsers except Firefox. So how exactly did Firefox come into alignment with the behavior of the other browsers without there being a patch associated with this bug?
