Bug 210671 – Web Inspector: REGRESSION(r242018): using `RegExp.prototype.test` with a global `RegExp` will ignore one potential match after each successful match

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Devin Rousso]

```
    let x = /script/gi;
    console.log(x.test("script")); // true
    console.log(x.test("script")); // false
    console.log(x.test("script")); // true
    console.log(x.test("script")); // false
```

this is due to the nature of `lastIndex`, which is set when using a global `RegExp` (see 12.a in <https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-regexpbuiltinexec>)
