SDL Trados Studio 2019: Search & Replace not working properly regarding regular expressions

Hi there,

I encountered the problem in the Search & Replace dialog with the following starting point:

I entered ") Page" in the Search field and ") Page some other text" in the Replace field.

"Use Regular expressions" is active => Warnings in the Search and Replace fields

When deactivating "Use Regular expressions" , the warnings will stay and you can't do anything but Cancel.
So, the dialog doesn't change the settings when deactivating SnR, as one would expect.

The solution seems to be deactivating RegEx, canceling the dialog, calling it again and entering the same S&R phrases.

Trados Studio Search and Replace dialog with warnings next to 'Search for:' and 'Replace with:' fields, indicating an issue with the input when 'Use Regular expressions' is active.
