[🐛 Bug]: Selenium's "getText" atom returns wrong capitalized text when underscores are used since PR 8736

[whimboo]

What happened?

For any HTML element that uses a text-transform of capitalize thegetText atom fails to return the correct text if underscores are used. Instead of Test_text it returns Test_Text.

How can we reproduce the issue?

You can take the following example:

<div style="text-transform: capitalize;">test_text

Here the atom returns Test_Text instead of Test_text.

Applying the following change makes it work:

-    var re = goog.userAgent.IE ? /(^|\s|\b)(\S)/g : /(^|[^\d\p{L}\p{S}])([\p{Ll}|\p{S}])/gu;
+    var re = goog.userAgent.IE ? /(^|\s|\b)(\S)/g : /(^|\s|\b)(\S)/gu;

That means that the change from PR #8736 triggered this regression.

@k7z45 could you please take a look?

Sadly I don't have the time at the moment. If someone else can provide a patch and test it would be great.
