Summary0015133: Stress-free duplicate name handling in xyz-propertiespalette (and explicitely allow - as part of name.)
DescriptionWhen you enter a duplicate name in the name field of the XYZ properties palette, you get a MessageBox and then the focus is set back to the field, but eventually the new wrong name is set back to the old unique name.

This is annoying for complex names when you made some small typo. After the field got set back you start from the beginning.

Solution: (Patch attached) Set the background color of the wrong name field to red, but leave the wrong name. This way you can fix the typo and you are done. If you don't know what the old name was, you can "escape" by deselecting and selecting the object.

i've been changing a few similar situation in scribus by simply adding a (1) at the end.
no warning or other complex handling.
it's easy enough to replace the (#) at the and fix the name to be unique.

as soon as the xyz and advanced section patches are in, i will make a patch for this.
