@pedrottimark ideas?

The regexp part of pretty-format hasn't changed for years

https://github.com/facebook/jest/blob/003bd50afaf0022381ffa9eb30abd511fad2ed2e/packages/pretty-format/src/index.ts#L157-L163

So I'm not sure where to begin looking into this... Maybe the equality function just lies? It was tweaked in #9167. RegExp equality went from

    return (
        a.source == b.source &&
        a.global == b.global &&
        a.multiline == b.multiline &&
        a.ignoreCase == b.ignoreCase
      );

to

return a.source === b.source && a.flags === b.flags;

I wouldn't expect that to result in this change, though...
@jeysal ideas?

@SimenB I can spent my time on searching a problem, I'm afraid that it will take me more time for me, so I created the problem, suddenly there are some known potential problem areas

[jeysal]

Hmm I'd be surprised if it was related to that too. It should only matter for flags other than those 3
