Regular Expressions are not working properly in Find

I am using TestComplete 10.60.3387.7 writing in JScript.

 

When I do a Find All to search a document using match case and regular expressions, the search results do not match my search.  '\w' will match more than one character, as if it is '\w+'.  '\W' does not match anything.  '[^\w]' will match any character, word or not.  '[^a-zA-Z0-9_]' works as expected, the way '[^\w]' should work according to the Help.

 

This issue exists both before and after the patch for TestComplete losing focus on Find.  This all worked properly in version 9.31.

      If you had the following script:

       

      var strGuest = "Name";

      var strGuestPassword = "My name is guest";

       

      If you try to do a Find (from menu "Edit > Find" or keyboard "Ctrl + F") and enable regular expressions and match case, "strGuest\w" will find "strGuestPassword" instead of "strGuestP".  If you search for "strGuest\W", it will find nothing instead of "strGuest ".

        I must confess that I don't see it.  For me, 'strGuest\w' finds "strGuestP" and 'strGuest\W' finds "strGuest " in both versions of TestComplete.
