I'm not able to reproduce this. The exception seems like if the component was renamed when the GUI form was closed. Not sure how this can happen. I suspect the previous rename operations (if the renamed components had other than private modifier). But I can't reproduce anything like this. There are no other exceptions in the log either. Need exact steps, ideally with a sample form, to reproduce this.
