There is an incorrect test description for #RA6 (see screenshots)

If you implement the feature according to the test description, test will fail:

The same is in #GQ9

Same problem here.

IMO, it’s the test (not the description) that should be fixed. Zsh behaves like this on my machine:

Thanks for reporting, everyone!

Yep, this does seem like a mismatch between the description and tests. We’ve been running our tests against bash, zsh and dash - need to look into why this one succeeded against zsh (shouldn’t have?).

Will leave a note here once we’ve patched either the tests or the description!

I believe this has been fixed now, we just forgot to update the status here.
