"^-" or "^_" don't match anything on the editor but they are indeed valid regex.

You have the multiline flag enabled in v1 but not v2. Without the multiline flag ^ matches the start of the string, not the start of a line.

I added it then to v2 (see updated screenshot), maybe wasn't set? Thanks!

Your expression matches underscores, but your Text doesn't contain any (it has dashes). :)
