Word Count is one number short

[jorbin]

Write a post. The count will be one number too low in text view if you don't press enter.
For example:

This is some content. It should be ten words long.

The counter shows that being 9 words.

Unit Test

The above patch includes both a fix and a unit test.

I'm not sure if I am correctly checking for being in txt mode vs being in tinymce mode. Is there a better way to get this information?

Appears to be this: typeof tinyMCE != 'undefined' && ( ed = tinyMCE.activeEditor ) && !ed.isHidden() ) {

Two possible alternative fixes that are not editor-dependent:

• Add a space to the end of tx prior to running the count.

• Use /\S(\s+|$)/gm instead (untested).

Also, 26620.2.diff​ has JSHint errors. :-)

Padding a space on to the end seemed simpler than changing the regex and works independent of the editor. New patch does that.

JSHint errors fixed.

No Dice.

Due RC coming shortly, because this patch's tests don't cleanly apply and the current patch still seems to have the bug above, moving to future release.
