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

 

For example:

 

   [1d] [1Dddd] [1w

 

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

 

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