Description

When I make an error and then fix it, it remains visible in the Problems tab.

This has caused me intolerable frustration.

Example: type a single-line comment, typing each forward-slash individually, and it will say it's still an unterminated regular expression.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the example in the Problems tab: type a single-line comment one slash at a time, then complete it and observe whether the diagnostic changes. Done means the obsolete unterminated-regular-expression error disappears without a page refresh after the code is fixed.
