That will probably not fix it as the regex dot will match the literal dot,
so it should still work as-is.

Unfortunately that didn't work either. I did this:

Hi!
Since you're already using a regex, could you do this:
browser.span(:text, /butterfly/).click

an id to that span?Does it work when searching for it by id?
Looking for a little more information.
