Description Коренберг Марк 2012-01-18 12:48:03 UTC
This code on RHEL 6.0 will log two identical lines ('test') and this is OK.
On RHEL 6.2 this code will log different lines. And this is the BUG.

<script type="text/javascript">
    function xxx1(b){
        return function(){
            return b.apply(b,arguments);
        }
    }

    function xxx2(b){
        return function(){
            var yyy=arguments;
            return b.apply(b,arguments);
        }
    }

    function bbb(bbb_param) { console.log(bbb_param); }

    a = xxx1(bbb);
    a('test');

    b = xxx2(bbb);
    b('test');

</script>

That's why extjs (sencha) 4.0.7 web applications does not work in webkit in RHEL. For example, http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-0 does not work with message '.... h.substring... is not a function' in RHEL 6.2, but successfully work in RHEL 6.0.

Also, RHEL 6.1 is also buggy (can not select two versions in bugtracker)

I think this is critical bug.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
