Textual template modes closing tag broken in 3.0.3

The following code inside a <script type="text/javascript" th:inline="javascript"> block stopped working with 3.0.3:

/*[# th:if="${user.admin}"]*/
    alert('Welcome admin');
/*[/]*/

In fact the closing tag leaves a stale

*/

which the JavaScript parser does not like.

In 3.0.2 it works.

Already in 3.0.4-SNAPSHOT

Confirmed and fixed.

This was actually caused by a quite complex interaction –and quite a large amount of bad luck 😦–. As it happens, the textual parser uses buffers for parsing the textual structures (like e.g. the contents of inlined <script> tags) which size starts at 2Kbytes, and can grow during parsing if needed.

The problem however appeared when, during parsing, the parser ended the scanning of the whole 2048 bytes without finding a relevant structure to handle inside it, and at the end of the buffer it had found a text literal ("..." or '...') which wasn’t closed before the buffer ended. In such cases, this caused a sequence of bad state transitions at the parser which ended up with things like your strange */ hanging there without a reason.

So something strange, but indeed a bug. Now fixed.
