[issue20288] HTMLParse handing of non-numeric charrefs broken

[Ezio Melotti]

Ezio Melotti added the comment:

Thanks for the report, this is indeed a bug.
This behavior was covered by a test (see Lib/test/test_htmlparser.py:164), but _run_check feeds the chars one by one to the parser, and in that case it works correctly.  While feeding the parser a whole chunk I was able to reproduce the bug.  This should be fixed, and the behavior of _run_check should probably be changed too -- maybe it could test both the char-by-char and the regular feeding.
