[BUG] Material Rename Issue

In Rhino 7 when I Use a new material > rename that material, the entered text resets to default after about 8 seconds. This has been happening since the official release of RH7 for me.

Hi Derek - Please run the SystemInfo command in Rhino and copy/paste the results here. If possible, can you please also grab a short video clip or provide blow by blow instructions to repeat?

This video shows creating a new material and I noticed:

  1. If I move the mouse after finishing typing the material name it does not reset.

  2. If I don’t move the mouse after typing the material name it does reset.

And when I go to re-name a currently existing material, a similar thing happens: it resets to what it was named beforehand. However, this glitch only happens once and is not repeatable, unlike the above glitch which is repeatable every time I try it.

Hi Derek - thanks, I see this.
