      Description

        ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
        JDK 21ea31

        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        With the fix for JDK-8132995 MatchResult only stores the substring covering the match but does not account for capturing groups outside the match, i.e. within look-behind or look-ahead groups.

        The correct behavior would be not only consider the start and end of the match but the minimum start and the maximum end of all capturing groups.

        REGRESSION : Last worked in version 20.0.2

        STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
        Compile and run the attached program


        EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
        EXPECTED -
        It should print

        match from 3 to 6: ABC
        prefix: 123
        suffix: 456
        match from 3 to 6: ABC
        prefix: 123
        suffix: 456

        ACTUAL -
        match from 3 to 6: ABC
        prefix: 123
        suffix: 456
        match from 3 to 6: ABC
