Ok, I don't know what's going on :?

All of a sudden, I don't get the multi character typing issue anymore, regardless if the dynamic option is enabled or not. Typing is of course more laggy with dynamic on, but I don't get multiple characters per keystroke anymore. But I definitely had the problem until recently, I got it in my last test game with the new colonization mechanics.

What I did notice however was that this check apparently does not prevent the player to make multiple designs with the same design name. It only updates the design name displayed in the pedia window. Wasn't preventing duplicate design names one of the reasons for the check...?

IIRC, whoever wrote it (Mitten.O?) likes to have new ships of the same name as older ships so wanted to ensure you weren't duplicating a design (which it does) but wasn't bothered about name. I can see the appeal to just call all your scout ships "scout" but prefer unique names myself.

Eh? No, I'm the one who wrote it. And I don't name new designs the same as an old one unless I'm just fixing a mistake in a design I just made. There was a lot of discussion about what should be enforced; the final set of rules were not how it started out.

That's wierd, I was sure it was someone knewish that suggested it as one of their early submissions. My memory's getting worse, ah well, it matters not, sorry for the misattribute ;-)
