    I use the [] brackets a lot in my game text (e.g., press [z] to jump...). But the [] characters need to be escaped in C3, so the actual text in C3 Text object needs to be "press [z] to jump".

    The problem is when I try to search for these characters in C3:

    - if I search for [z] in C3's find feature, no results come back

    - if I search for [z], or just [, , no results come back - if I search for [, C3 returns the places where [ is used without the escape char \. - and if I search for "to jump", the Match shows 'text: Set text to "press \ to jump" (i.e., the Match doesn't show the '[' character) So is there a way to search for strings with escaped characters in C3? Or maybe this is a bug?
