    Description

      QString c = "We must be <b>bold</b>, very <b>bold</b>!";
QRegExp r;
r.setMinimal(true);
r.setPattern("<b>(.*)</b>");
c.indexOf(r);
qDebug() << r.cap(1);
r.setPattern("<b>(.*)</b>.*!");
c.indexOf(r);
qDebug() << r.cap(1);

      got:
      "bold"
      "bold</b>, very <b>bold"
      expected:
      "bold"
      "bold"

      When there is more than one asterisk, minimal matching should be applied to the one in matching group.
