This scanning message appears in a textbox where all the opening and closing square brackets [] are matched except for a single opening square bracket [ that occurs after the last matching pair of square brackets.

 

For example:

 

   [1d] [1Dddd] [1w

 

If you do not see the offending square bracket, it may be because you are using a special font (such as holidays boxes) where the square bracket characters are replaced by another character.

 

If you wish to use text containing actual square brackets, make sure you add an underscore to each square bracket, [_ and _], to specify that the text contained is not a token.
