Can't help without logs. Possibly a category issue.

@ErikBjare Oh! you are right! It is indeed a category issue as I forgot to escape the "+" sign for this pattern "Learn C++" in:

Edit Category > Rule > Pattern

The problem is now fixed!

Nice!

I might have to improve error messages here in the future, although the regex validation in v0.12.2b1 should help too.

Closing.
