Renaming a system only changes it in the map

I've made my first system renaming today (playing master version pulled yesterday).
The new name is shown in the map, but the old name is still in the Objects Window
, the sitreps and the items of the production queue (e.g. it says a ship is being built in <old_name> instead of <new_name>).
I would consider this a bug. Do you agree?

Somewhat, it's rather a known bug. In the current implementation changing an universe object doesn't necessarily propagate to all UI components, or not all UI components listen for object changes. Are the corresponding UI elements updated when you finish a turn or do they display the stale information indefinitly?

It's been several turns from the name change and the old name persists in the Objects Window and the Production Queue (sitreps are right once you advance one turn after the change name).
I've checked that there is no open issue mentioning renaming/rename. Should I open one?

Please do so and write down the steps how to reproduce this issue.

I think you are looking at planet names, and not system names-- I just checked the use of system names in the objects window and in the production queue (where they are mostly used for Rallying), and they were renamed just fine. Renaming a system does not rename the planets in the system.

Doh! You are right! Problem solved.
