Issue #12636 has been updated by Jeremy Evans.
This isn't a bug, it's because "#{$1} " is evaluated before the call to gsub, using \
the results of the previous regexp match. You probably want to use '\1 ' instead.
----------------------------------------
Bug #12636: string.gsub(/([a-z](?=[A-Z._ ]))/, "#{$1} ") returns wrong result \
(possible C-string leak?) https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12636#change-59830

----------------------------------------
Verified in Ruby 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3.
> "Hello.World".gsub(/([a-z](?=[A-Z._ ]))/, "#{$1} ")
=> "Hell .World"
^ wrong answer; it should be `"Hello .World"`
> "Hello.World".gsub(/([a-z](?=[A-Z._ ]))/, "#{$1} ")
=> "Hello .World"
^ running it a second time in the same IRB session now returns the correct result, \
however...
> "Help.World".gsub(/([a-z](?=[A-Z._ ]))/, "#{$1} ")
=> "Helo .World"
^ now the p turned into an o somehow? It's clearly retaining strings from the \
previous invocation and reusing them, but not updating every byte.
Here's the equivalent code in JavaScript, which returns the correct result every \
time:
"Hello.World".replace(/([a-z](?=[A-Z._ ]))/g, "$1 ")
