When I type the brackets (beside p on the US layout) in the filter by edit field, I get the following error:
ERROR - unhandled exception (21:33:27):
Traceback (most recent call last):

Fixed problems when typing certain punctuation/symbols such as brackets into the filter field in the Input Gestures dialog.

We now escape the filter text before passing it into regexp compilation routine.
Fixes #5060.
