Hello,

I am writing to report what I believe to be a bug in Athena. In the attached project, there are two groups, a main group and a reference group. Changing the name of the first group does not change the name of the reference group. Changing the name of the reference group separately doesn't work well either. This results in an extra "Ref" being added to the beginning of the group name, which cannot be deleted. This happens every time one changes the name of the reference group, which can result in quite a long name for the reference. Let me know if any further information would be helpful.

Hi George, Sorry for the delay. I didn't do much maintenance of my software during the shutdown. This will be fixed in the next release. The work-around until then is not to use the "+" character (or "*" or "?" or a few others) in your group names. The source of the problem is that I failed to escape the "+" character before checking against the name of the reference group. The "+" character was then interpreted in the regular expression sense rather than as a character in the group name. Oops! How interesting that no one, including me, had noticed that until now!
