Variable not captured with comment in it

Question

Hi, I would need your help. Yesterday I was preparing a Word doc with some variables between curly brackets. So, I created a rule to capture everything included in those brackets, namely this one \{.*\} 
 However, it does capture everything except one variable. This variable has a comment in it and I suppose this may be the reason. 
 Please see an example with a screenshot attached. 
 
 This the the sample text I have used to repro the issue: 
 I do not want {segment truncated}. 
 I want {segment a}. 
 I want {segment b}. 
 I want {segment c}. 
 
 In my example I have added a comment on the word "truncated" of the variable. Do you know why this happens and what could be a workaround without accepting or deleting the comments from the file?

 Looks like a bug, I'll log a case. 
 Incidentally, I used this: 
 {[^}]+?} 
 There is no need to escape curly brackets and I just think this is a bit cleaner ;-)
