      Hi all,

      I have Picard set to 'clear existing tags' but 'preserve these tags from being cleared':
      Comments
      comments

      It works fine usually but I have found a case where if the Comment tag contains brackets Picard will interpret this as a new type of tag. This means the tags are no longer seen as 'Comment' tags and no longer preserved.

      Example:
      Comment: From Humble Bundle IndieGala 11 (2012-12-05)
      Loaded into Picard becomes:
      Comment [2012-12-05]: From Humble Bundle IndieGala 11

      Right-clicking the tag and editing it shows 'comment:2012-12-15' has become the tag type:

      I've tried working around this issue by adding additional 'preserve these tags from being cleared' entries, but they have not made an impact:
      Comment*
      Comment:
      Comment:*
      comment*
      comment:
      comment:*

      I can at least prevent the tag being removed on this release by right-clicking and selecting 'Add to Preserve Tags' list, which adds it as 'comment:2012-12-05'. But this is obviously not ideal as it would need many thousands of 'preserve' tags to catch every possible comment date.

      Thanks for your help.
