           Summary: Dogtail misinterprets regexps in strings
           Product: dogtail
           Version: CVS HEAD
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

Please describe the problem:
I just found this in writing a test script for Frysk. A combo box menuitem
included these characters in its name:  

                        (A)

And Dogtail was unable to recognize it until the (A) was removed. I'm guessing
that Dogtail is misintrepreting this string as a regexp.

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
