"Fetch Experiments failed" when typing regex pattern in search bar

[idantene]

When typing any regex pattern that contains parentheses in the search bar, the "Fetch Experiments failed" pop-up continuously pops up and interferes with typing the search pattern. It should probably just highlight the invalid regex pattern instead..?

Steps to reproduce:

1. Toggle the regex option in the search bar
2. Type a pattern that exceeds the minimum requirements and include a parenthesis ((, [, ), or ]) in the pattern, such that the pattern is not complete yet
3. Be stopped by said pop up :(
4. Click "OK" and try to type some more stuff as you finish the pattern, and get the pop up again, consistently, until the pattern is valid :(

Thanks for the report @idantene. We'll update when we have a fix available.

@idantene Would changing the notification from a blocking popup to a less intrusive sliding toast provide a good enough first-step workaround in lieu of specific pattern highlight?

@ainoam Sure, anything that won't prevent the user from typing the pattern as they go along is helpful. @bmartinn Suggested simply waiting until the user presses the ENTER key, for example.

Hey @idantene! Just letting you know that this issue has been resolved in the recently released v1.6.0. Let us know if there are any issues :)
