Bug report: on Ubuntu 8.10 / Java build 1.6.0_10-b33 - after setting the Loop condition, the loop window reformats itself all weird (you can only see text labels, no fields, and even the text labels are only partially visible) and so it becomes unusable and uneditable.
Question: in the string box for loop condition, when using 'matches' in the drop down, do you enter a standard regex? Do I need to include the Java ^ and $ line start/end matchers, or just ".*XYZ.*" to match any string including "XYZ"?
