Seams to be an escaping issue with backslashes. For JS based RegExp object construction the backslashes need to be escaped. I'm not sure why it's not working properly all of a sudden. The below will remove the addslashes and allow it to work, but I'm unsure what it'll break at this time.

IN: libraries/CBLib/CB/Legacy/cbValidator.php
ON: Lines 73 - 75
FROM:
Code:
} elseif ( $rule == 'pattern' ) { $params = addslashes( $params ); }
TO:
Code:
}

I've created a bug ticket to investigate further.

Okay. I will make the corrections and give you my feedback. It is night time here and I should give a feedback to help improve CB.

Will do more testing and post my findings here so that you are able isolate the problem.

So far tested another one for cash amount for 99999.99 is also starting to misbehave.

Thanks for the temporary fix Kyle.

Yes, I'm able to confirm the issue. Removing the addslashes resolves it, but I'm unsure as to what browsers will support this. The MDN documentation still states to escape them, but that doesn't appear to work anymore and they're being treated like characters. So will have to dig further into JS usage in browsers to see what's going on.

Okay Kyle, i'll do a browser check and get back you on this.

The funny thing is that it some fields are okay and some not. I've checked the configurations and it is identical.

Thanks again.

Ok, tested IE/FF/Chrome working with the above fix. Will be implementing for next nightly.
