In previous versions, it was possible to mark lines of BISTs (that start with
"%!") in the built-in text editor and press Ctrl+Shift+R to remove those
comment characters from those lines.
In a build from the current head of MXE Octave (Octave hg id a74935a6cc75, MXE
Octave hg id f9a382236bd5), this no longer works.

I made sure that "%!" is selected in the list labeled "Strings considered for
uncommenting text" in the editor tab of the properties dialog. I also tested
un-selecting it and selecting it again to be on the safe side.
However, it still only removes the leading "%" from those lines (leaving them
starting with "!").

Maybe, this is a side effect from the update from PCRE to PCRE2?
