Well, in that case, it's another problem, since the dot can match the escape character, so it'll incorrectly blast "(\)".

I knew it was something. {grin}

    Did you test it?

    It recognizes "(\)" as unbalanced. OTOH he *didn't* bother to have an escape escape an escape. So "(\\)" is still unbalanced.

    But that could be a question of definition, not a bug.
