  • Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)

Proposed changes

Currently the regex typed input is just a simple text line edit - which is rather small for any complex regex. By letting it be expandable into another edit window so it's easier to read whole regex and debug them. Currently this is just re-using the text edit panel.

Maybe one day this could be made into a specific regex tester a bit like the jsonata one... but that maybe a bit OTT.
