Description Rochelle Raccah 2001-05-11 00:19:57 UTC

Sometimes renaming a class node renames the source node other times it doesn't. 
I can usually reproduce this after creating the node by copy/paste and opening
it in the editor or using NFT and immediately renaming it.  Once a node has this
problem, subsequent renames also don't work properly until IDE restart.

Actually, I don't think this is a duplicate at all.  This is the case where I'm
renaming the main class and I *want* the source file renamed.  Sometimes it
works, sometimes it doesn't.  There are some instructions on how to reproduce
this (though it's not entirely easy) below.

I've changed the implementation so that checks for and keeps track of changes 
of a "main" class, which is the first public class in the source whose name 
matches the source filename.
Marking as 3.2.1_CANDIDATE, but the fix is scattered throughout the class, so 
I can't guarantee it will be accepted.

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
