Find Regex for only non-basic Latin characters matches "S" and "s"

See original GitHub issue

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Issue Type: Bug

Find regex for non-Basic Latin characters matches “S” and “s” alone. I tested on regex101.com without problems. The regex is supposed to match characters with diactrical marks, and for some reason in VS Code it matches the letters “S” and “s” without matching “P” or “a” for example.

VS Code version: Code 1.63.2 (899d46d82c4c95423fb7e10e68eba52050e30ba3, 2021-12-15T09:40:02.816Z) OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19044 Restricted Mode: No
