uBlock Origin filter greyed out

I added a filter to "My Filters" in uBlock Origin:
#div(id^=dropin)
Just recently, it was greyed out. Why? What is wrong with it?

Did you update UBO recently?

Yes. I am now using uBlock Origin 1.15.24. Why would it find a filter unusable?

Since v.
1.15.12 a text editor,
CodeMirror, has been integrated into uBO's dashboard.
The text editor rejected the filter's syntax, it doesn't see it as a valid filter.
I'm not remotely knowledgeable about these filters, but do have one suggestion.....
To make the editor recognize your filter, add a second ' # ' at the beginning, like so:
##div(id^=dropin)

Coffeebreak, the extra "#" did the trick. It is now an acceptable filter. Thanks a bunch.
