SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /^/[\s\S]*?+$/: Nothing to repeat when entering the filter term "*+" or "*(" etc

I m using the latest version v4.0.6, before this I was using v4.0.4, I get the following stacktrace after entering "+", "(", "*)" as the filter expression.

I have used to sort out this by "condition: uiGridConstants.filter.CONTAINS", it works on grids having server side filtering while its not working for other grids
