Not possible to find/replace question mark

Question

Please note that regex is not checked; despite that, it is interpreted as such.

 Interesting. I can reproduce this. However, it does not treat the search string as regex. Searches with "." as search string will only find literal full-stops. 
 Also, this bug occurs only in the "Replace" tab, not in the "Find" tab of the Find and Replace window. 
 So there is some kind of check, that fails to get out of the Regex mode, but the actual search is normal. 
 As far as I can see, the only workaround is to switch to "Regex" mode and use Regex and type "\?" if you want to search for "?".

 I was not referring to the content of the "replace" field in your screenshot, I used "." as a search expression because in Regex this matches any character. 
 If you are unfamiliar with Regex, I just found this Wildcard to Regex converter tool: http://www.regexlab.com/wild2regex So you could enter any normal search string or string with wildcards, press the button, and get a Regex. I just tested it with "?", and it returns "\?". 
 I am sure RWS () is going to fix this glitch fairly soon, but this link might help until that happened.
