Broken: version: 2.93.0, branch: master, commit date: 2021-06-02 11:21, hash: rB84da05a8b806
Worked: Don't recall, presumably 2.92.
Short description of error
Renaming objects that have the same name + number suffix doesn't work as expected. For example, say we have two objects, "Cube" and "Cube.001". Just duplicating the original object "Cube" created a new object with the .001 suffix, so that part's working as expected. Now let's say we want to rename another object in the scene to "Cube.002". The renamed object is expected to automatically get the proper .002 suffix when pasting in "Cube" or even "Cube.001", but instead it is the the renamed object that gets the name "Cube" and the original object is automatically renamed "Cube.002" instead. Seems to happen both if renaming through the Outliner or through Object Properties.
This happens both on my personal computer with Blender 2.93 (that's the computer the stats above apply to) and my work computer with 2.93.1. The work computer just got Blender, only the Looptools addon has been activated. On both computers, I've used the .zip download, not the installer (old habit).
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
- Open the default startup.
- Shift+D to duplicate the cube. Place it somewhere. We now have "Cube" and "Cube.001".
- Copy the name of the cube ("Cube").
- Paste the name into, for example, the light. The light has now been renamed "Cube" and the original cube is "Cube.002".
I hope this is clear, if not let me know and I'll clarify!
