[issue30720] re.sub substitution match group contains wrong value after unmatched pattern was processed

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

It works correctly. It finds a substring that starts with '<div><p>' and ends with '</p></div>' from left to right. The leftmost found substring starts from index 0 and ends before the final '\n'. Overlapped substrings are not found.
