JsonDataSource - XtraReport.FilterString does not work with properties containing the dot (.) Unicode character

created a day ago (modified a day ago)

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a JSON structure with dots in a property name:
JSON
[
    {
        "units.classification": 
        {
            "String Value": "FIRST",
            "DateTime Value": "2012-04-23T18:25:43.511Z"
        },
        "units.digits": 
        {
            "String Value": "abc 2",
            "Bool Value": false
        }
    },
    {
        "units.classification": 
        {
            "String Value": "SECOND",
            "DateTime Value": "2012-04-23T18:25:43.511Z"
        },
        "units.digits": 
        {
            "String Value": "abc 2",
            "Bool Value": false
        }
    }
]
  1. Apply the following filter:
    [units.classification.String Value] = 'FIRST'

Current results:

The filter does not work (all records are shown). The Expression Editor also throws an exception on selecting an inner property:

The Expression Binding does work: [units.classification].[String Value]
