J3 Issue ?

Steps to reproduce the issue

Update Joomla to 3.9 or install 3.9
Go to /administrator/index.php, pass login if not logged in

Expected result

Page displays correctly without errors

Actual result

Page crashes with:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /libraries/cms/html/content.php on line 74

System information (as much as possible)

Bug was fixed as soon as PHP version was set to 5.6, so this is likely affecting older PHP versions.

Additional comments

Not sure bug is worth fixing if future versions of Joomla won't work outside of at least 5.6.

It's a PHP 5.3 compat issue. That line will work fine on 5.4.

I figured I'd raise a bug anyways because Joomla.org still states that minimum version is 5.3.10, and that version doesn't work with Joomla 3.9

It's a bug. Just saying it's not affecting 5.4 or 5.5.
