EricLaw: ofcourse I meant wether it is/will be fixed in IE9. Since I don't run vista or win 7 (yet) I'm not in a position to test it myself. Glad to see confirmation that this is (finally - since this was also already in the non-normative section of ES3)) fixed as well :)

@Tino: In IE5,6,7 and 8 document modes, your test case returns "abcdefg". In IE9 document mode, it returns "fg". This is expected behavior.

(If you were really asking about changing IE8, the answer is no, that's not the sort of change that would be made for a shipped product).

@FremyCompany

Thanks for the feedback. I have filed couple of bugs for the issues you have reported.

Even though it is in the non-normative section B of the ES5 spec, alert('abcdefg'.substr(-2)); is still incorrect in IE8. Will this be corrected?

@Jim

IE supports AAC which is an actual standard unlike Vorbis.

And modern AAC implementation perform a bit better than vorbis as well.

Instead of a "fake report", could you instead add this bug to connect and provide a link in this post or in the comments :

JScript Test 11.13.1-1-1 has a wrong name :

=================================================

11.13.1-1-1 simple assignment throws ReferenceError if LeftHandSide is not a reference (string): pass [Source]

should be 11.13.1-1-1 simple assignment throws ReferenceError if LeftHandSide is not a reference (number): pass [Source]

Could you file a "fake bug" in connect about your test cases ? Because I don't see which category I should use to report test-suite problems, and what I should answer to some questions like Repros, ... (I don't have a bug report yet, but you shoud include it in the post. Posting an IE bug is confusing the first time you do it. Posting a bug for a test-case is even more confusing since the questions are not adapted to this ;-)

@Jim - what the hell does OGG Vorbis have to do with java script testing? I understand what you're saying but you're saying it in the wrong place.
