Description Paul Beusterien CLA 2011-01-24 18:45:01 EST 
Unlike the other Potential programming problems, the semi-colon warning occurs even when semantic validation is disabled.

this is troubling because of
1. the various semicolon bugs - 324673, 326842, 304933
2. the prevalence of these in common javaScript libraries
3. the unintuitive workaround - 
A. Turn on semantic validation
B.  Find and ignore Semi-colon warning
C. Disable semantic validation
Comment 1 Chris Jaun CLA 2011-02-07 16:45:55 EST 
We're working on cleaning up semantic validation in 3.2.4.

Make default be ignore optional semicolons.
Comment 3 Nitin Dahyabhai CLA 2011-06-06 11:54:14 EDT 
Semi-colons are a syntax problem, not a semantic problem.  While allowed in the language, they're ambiguous and generally discouraged.  Changing summary and severity.
Comment 4 Nitin Dahyabhai CLA 2011-06-30 17:34:40 EDT 
Done.
