Hi,

I changed lines 695 in
bin/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-reg.lua to the above. I
re-ran context against my test case and Philipp's example.

Actual results:

a
foo 2
*aa 2
aaa 2
aaaa
*bar 2
aaaaa
foo 2
aaaaaa 2

Expected results:

a
foo 2
aa
*foo 2
*aaa
*foo 2
*aaaa
bar 2
aaaaa
foo 2
aaaaaa 2

Kindest regards.
