I have installed 4.4 when it was released, and everything seemed to work well, until earlier today when I tried to edit a rule I have, based on “Name matches“.
What happens is shown in this screenshot:

The two bubbles highlighted with the red arrows appeared as I tried to edit the name field, and the rename with pattern field. It was impossible to rename the fields.
At the same time, if I would change from “name matches“ to “name is“, I could edit the strings without any issue, and no bubble would appears. Weird.
Anything to do with the GUI fixes implemented for Catalina, bleeding back into High Sierra by mistake?
Let me know if any more debugging is needed, Paul.
Thanks,
Luca
