Bug: Renaming materials is broken

Rendering
1

Changing a material name in the floating material editing panel is broken. It takes approximately two/three attempts for the change to take effects

I know what I’m reporting could feel like small bugs - and they are - but all of them really make Rhino 8 like a WIP software and a bad user experience overall.

hi @flixchameroy I cannot reproduce that here. Changes take effect right away. Can you post your _SystemInfo and maybe a small clip of the behavior you are getting?

Hi @Gijs, thanks for the reply. Here is a clip of the behavior here :

well, this is weird,

I could only reproduce this once, even after restarting Rhino I cannot make it happen anymore.
If you create another physical material after it has been changed successfully, are you then able to still reproduce it?
RH-79515 Material name doesn’t stick

Hi @Gijs ,

Yes, creating another physical material still requires two attempts to edit material name in the floating editor. The behavior is the same no matter the material type.

Bug still present is latest 8.4 SRC.

yes, you can see the YT is not resolved yet, but will be worked on shortly. I hope it’s reproducible on the dev’s end.
