Describe the bug
Contextual alternates (of colon, hyphen, etc.) should not be applied after a figure that is followed by a space and an alphabetical character, like in “Question 1: Please …”

To Reproduce
With contextual alternates active, type something like “Question 2:”.

Expected behavior
Contextual alternates of hyphen, colon, etc. should be applied only in-between figures (like in “11:35 a.m.”). That is, The colon should not be moved upward in cases like “Appendix 3: Additional figures.”

I just noticed that the contextual alternate of the colon is also triggered under various circumstances in which one would not expect it to be triggered—and that it is not triggered when it should be.

Here is some HTML code to illustrate this observation:

<html>
  <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="inter.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <span style="font-family: InterDisplay; font-size: 60;">
      Test: <i>Test</i>: Test (i): Test (4): Test (<i>i</i>): Test (<i>i</i>): <i>i</i>: Test:<br>
      1:2. 1<span style="color: gray;">:</span>2. 1&#8239;:&#8239;<b>2</b>.
      <i>1</i>&#8239;:&#8239;2. <i>1</i>&#8239;:&#8239;<b>2</b>. <b>1</b>&#8239;:&#8239;<b>2</b>.
      <b>1</b>&#8239;<span style="color: gray;">:</span>&#8239;<b>2</b>.
    </span>
    <br>
    <span style="font-family: Inter; font-size: 60;">
      Test: <i>Test</i>: Test (i): Test (4): Test (<i>i</i>): Test (<i>i</i>): <i>i</i>: Test:<br>
      1:2. 1<span style="color: gray;">:</span>2. 1&#8239;:&#8239;<b>2</b>.
      <i>1</i>&#8239;:&#8239;2. <i>1</i>&#8239;:&#8239;<b>2</b>. <b>1</b>&#8239;:&#8239;<b>2</b>.
      <b>1</b>&#8239;<span style="color: gray;">:</span>&#8239;<b>2</b>.
    </span>
  </body>
</html>

This is the output (identical across Chrome, Firefox, and Safari):

Inter-colon

It shows that also

  • HTML tags preceding the colon,
  • numbers in parentheses, and
  • HTML tags in parentheses

trigger the contextual alternate—but not if followed by another HTML tag.
