Issues when recording type with square brackets

[nfrias]

Hi all,

I am unable to correctly record a typing action when the text includes square brackets.

When I type the brackets directly they are omitted when the test is executed. When I attempt to escape the brackets they are typed but the escaping character is also typed. Please consider the following examples:

{ type : "[test] ", target : "#searchMenu => .x-form-text" }   # Result: test

# Escaped brackets
{ type : "\[test\] ", target : "#searchMenu => .x-form-text" }   # Result: \[test\] 

# Brackets preceded by . # / . \ or space
{ type : ".[test.]", target : "#searchMenu => .x-form-text" }    # Result: .[test.]

Note: being able to type square brackets is very relevant since the application I am testing allows for search using Regexp.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Thanks for the report, we'll fix this promptly.

In the mean time, as a workaround, please split your typing in 2 actions - lets say one for "[test" and 2nd for "]" or similar.

Fixed in the sources, you can verify in the tomorrow nightly build.
