Bug in filterSelf when text contains special characters

We have a combo box where some options contain * and (). When the user types one of those special characters, the RegExp loses case insensitivity.

The line of code

try{ var filter=new RegExp("^"+text,"i"); } catch (e){ var filter=new RegExp("^"+text.replace(/([\[\]\{\}\(\)\+\*\\])/g,"\\$1")); }


should be

try{ var filter=new RegExp("^"+text,"i"); } catch (e){ var filter=new RegExp("^"+text.replace(/([\[\]\{\}\(\)\+\*\\])/g,"\\$1"),"i"); }
