Bug with recent searches: 'Don't Match Case' option applied to special (escaped) characters

[reflekteur]

Specifically the issue occurs with 'Match case' toggle turned off. The search box then considers queries abc\d{5} and abc\D{5} to be the same query and just pulls the previous search results from the cache.

Desired behaviour: Search respects 'Don't Match Case' option for the regular letters, but still correctly identifies special characters (like 'digit'/'not digit' in this particular example) and interprets abc\D{5} as a distinct query.

Thanks, good catch.

@reflekteur unfortunately, this looks impossible to fix using current auto-completion provided by Qt. QCompleter does not allow to customize string comparison function. It might be possible with some custom widgets. While I continue to investigate, there is a workaround: set klogg to case-sensitive mode and disable case sensitivity in pattern itself using (?i) so in your examples patterns will be

(?i)abc\D{5}
(?i)abc\d{5}
