Just to document this in the mailing archive.
The reason of the problems is that on copy/paste into the regex field,
often a space is copied at the end.
Due to the space, there is no match. So if you paste a regex in the
PlaceCompletion tool, then check the end of the regex if there is no extra
space.
I think of removing trailing whitespace by default. I cannot think of a
reason to match on that. Anybody does?
