Description:
"C" in "ANSI C" is bolded, but not "C*"
In ext.popups.renderer.article.js, the article.getProcessedHtml function bolds instances of the article title. However, it doesn't escape the title text provided to the regex it uses to search, and some titles contain regex syntax, causing odd results.
Version: unspecified
Severity: major
