Hi,

I only use Notepad++ on Windows, so I don't know if it's a specific problem of 
Notepad++ plugin or for all the other editors.

I cannot work out any way to avoid of using brackets in this situation, so I 
think this should be an issue.

If there are some other ways which can help me avoid of using brackets, please 
let me know.

Thank you.

Yep, it’s a bug.

In your case, this expression will produce required result:

`#main>span#item$[style='width: 100%; height: 7px;']*5>span[style='bigFont']`
