Description:
I tried to add a filter as per your example:
Pattern: ticket #(\d+)
But it escaped the backslash and if I update it again there's more slashes..

Finally I just put in #([0-9]+) instead!

How to repeat:
escape something...

i can confirm!

Thanks for the report. This is related to magic quotes being enabled. I have fixed the
problem in bitkeeper and it will be in our next release.
