I reduced the input pattern to
(conf:[a-zA-Z0-9.:_\-]+|conn:[a-zA-Z0-9.:_\-]+)
And the given input works for this, but as soon as I add the dialog
expression it fails, also it passes if I reduce the length of the input
expression,
Something like conn:10600-0-3689-217.198 or reduce it even further it gives
a expression match failure but no error....
