Collapses instances of $$ to $ in the textarea

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create a textarea containing "$ $$ $$$ $$$$"
2. run wysiwyg

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected: "$ $$ $$$ $$$$"
instead: "$ $$ $$$ $$$$"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
version 0.5 on multiple OSs with Firefox or Chrome (It works as expected in
IE8 because IE8 does not conform to the javascript standard on this)

Please provide any additional information below.
search for 'replace' in the code.
The line that does the replace assumes:
"A".replace("A","$ $$ $$$ $$$$") with produce "$ $$ $$$ $$$$" - it does
not, and according to the JavaScript spec it should not.
"A".replace("A",function(){return "$ $$ $$$ $$$$";}) however does product
what your after.

patch could be something like this (not tested):

change line 442 
from:
                    .replace(/INITIAL_CONTENT/, this.initialContent)
to:
                    .replace(/INITIAL_CONTENT/, (function(t){return function(){
return t.initialContent}}(this)))
