[Wtr-general] Attaching to windows problem

[Attebery, Bill]

I downloaded the latest dev build (1.5.1.1037) and tried to run a test
that was working before -- it's now failing to simply attach to a window
by title.

I tried attach in irb with the same result.
        ie=IE.attach(:title, /SMART/)
where the window title is SMART 2.4

irb(main):003:0> ie=IE.attach(:title, /SMART/)
Watir::Exception::NoMatchingWindowFoundException: Unable to locate a
window with
 title of (?-mix:SMART)

        from

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.5.1.1037/./watir.rb:1294:in
`attach'
        from (irb):3

I tried to run the unittests for attach and they also fail with the same
type of errors (only a couple examples here):

  1) Error:
test_simply_attach_to_new_window(TC_NewWindow):

I reverted back to my previous watir version (1.4.1) and attach seems to
work fine -- is this working for anyone else?
