bug#35077: grep bug?

[Todd Hoatson]

I tried GNU grep 2.0d, using this: *\n[^#(/]*class*

This is intended to ensure that the word class is not preceded on the line
with #, ( or /.

This gave me 15 matches like:

*UpdateStatusForm.cs:62: /// A public method to get a singleton instance of
this class and display it.*

*UserViewSettingManager.cs:70: #region UserViewSettings class*

*VListControl.cs:462: message = uiFontRegex.Replace(message, "$1");*


Why do I still get lines with (, # and / ?  Is this a bug or am I doing
something wrong?

thanks,
Todd Hoatson
