Bug Description

When inserting inline code with a preceding non-whitespace character, the preceding character gets removed.

To reproduce, type a, then backtick, then code, then again backtick. You would expect to see "acode". Instead, the "a" got removed.

This bug got introduced in Tiptap 2.11.0 with PR #5916. The PR removes named capturing groups and lookbehind assertions from the input regex as apparently Safari < 16.4 doesn't support them.

An earlier PR #4468 introduced those to fix the problem that the input regex matched only backticks at the beginning of a line or preceded by a whitespace.

Expected Behavior

Typing a followed by backtick + code + backtick should not remove the a.

@bdbch if I see it correctly, latest Tiptap no longer supports Safari 16.4. So would you consider to revert #5916 in order to fix this bug?
