Description

FireFox 155.0 with Harper V2.0.8 extension: it regularly, though by no means always, throws a false positive about a sentence lacking a capital... after a comma. Just happened again when reporting another bug.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the report in Firefox 155.0 with Harper V2.0.8 using text containing a comma, then trace the sentence-capitalization diagnostic. Done means the valid sentence no longer produces the false positive and a regression test covers the reported case.
