Help with regex - words starting with uppercase

Question

Hi, 
 
 I need to verify that source wordings in the form Xxxx Xxxx has been translated in the proper way. I tried to filter the segments looking for this regex: 
 
 [A-Z][a-z]+\b 
 I know that this is not correct but I just wanted to make a test. I was surprises by the result. 
 Basically, the filter "ignore" the uppercase and the filter result shows all the segments containing words, even if they start with lowercase (which basically means all the segments). I also tried to use search and replace but again, uppercase are ignore: 
 
 I decided to make a further test looking for capital letters, using this regex: 
 [A-Z] 
 Again the result is not what I expected, that regex look for ANY letter, no matter the case:

It looks like a bug. Am I missing something?

Hi Luca!

It looks like you forgot to make the search case-sensitive. If you check the box next to "Maiuscole/minuscole", it should behave as expected.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Raphael, 
 
 I admit that I ignored that, because Regex are usually case sensitive, I didn't think I needed to check that box. 
 
 Anyway, problem solved!
