You may look at 'Case Insensitive Matching' in its help page [1]. It reads: > Case insensitive matching is specified by the UREGEX_CASE_INSENSITIVE flag > during pattern compilation ... This is ~same for any other regex engines: software defines case sensitivity applied to *compiled regex*; and then user *may* re-define the flags inside the regex. You seem to not be familiar with this concept, but you may look at re.IGNORECASE flag in Python's regex [2] doing the same when passed to its compile. So the checkbox in the dialog controls just that, and it is consistent and correct.
