When I do either of the following [x] Regex, Syntax Hilighters: __

1) Win(Active|Exist)(.*
2) Win(Active|Exist)(

Then it works: __

if(!winID:=WinExist(“ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD”))

Yet, if I add one more brace to the regex: __

3) Win(Active|Exist)(.*)

It no longer matches: __

if(!winID:=WinExist(“ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD”))

But, without quotes inside the braces, it will match: __

if(!winID:=WinExist(ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD))

Interestingly, ahk_class would normally look like: ahk_class
So a separate hilighter for keywords, doesn’t break the regex (#3), but having a string inside it does?

Bug perhaps, I’m not sure, but it’s definitely strange.
As there doesn’t seem to be a way to indicate a Word should only be hilighted if it has braces e.g. a function.

Hi CrashNBurn,

I reproduced this issue. If you uncheck “Double Quotation Marks” on the Highlight (2) tab of configuration properties, you won’t see this behavior. Currently, this is a specification, but I might consider improving the behavior in future versions. Thanks for your inputs!
