TitleBlockTemplate::listOfVariables() -- which scans a title block
template's cells to auto-populate the "Custom" tab in Project
Properties (a feature recently added by another contributor, see
TitleBlockPropertiesWidget::addTemplateVariables()) -- only matched
the braced "%{name}" placeholder form. The bare "%name" form (also a
legitimate, fully-supported substitution syntax -- see
TitleBlockTemplate::interpreteVariables(), which already replaces both
forms) was never matched at all, not merely mishandled on edge cases:
a cell containing "%name2" alone, "%name2 " with a trailing space, or
"%name2 %name3" with two bare variables all produced zero detected
variables, exactly matching the report (manually adding the variable
in Project Properties works fine and renders correctly, since
rendering goes through interpreteVariables()'s simple string
replacement against already-known keys, not this regex).
Fix: extend the regex to also match a bare "%name" as the longest run
of identifier characters immediately after '%', via a second
alternative/capture group. This naturally stops at whitespace, so
"%name2 " and "%name2 %name3" are both now correctly detected -- no
change to the existing braced-form handling, and the existing
globalMatch() loop already correctly finds multiple matches per cell.
Verified: clean rebuild, only the intended object file recompiled and
linked successfully. Wrote a standalone test of the regex/extraction
logic covering exactly the reported repro cases -- "%name2", "%name2 "
(trailing space), "%name2 %name3" (two bare variables), "%{name2}"
(braced form, unaffected), a braced+bare mix, plain text with no
variables, and two built-in-style names -- all extracted correctly
with no regressions to the previously-working braced form.
Not verified: the actual Project Properties "Custom" tab UI
auto-populating live, since exercising the full Xvfb GUI flow (title
block template editor > add a bare-form custom variable to a cell >
save > open Project Properties > select that template > confirm the
Custom tab lists it) was out of scope for the time available given the
extraction logic itself was already precisely verified in isolation.
