TerminalGuiDesigner renames some controls i changed name on already

[GronbergInfo]

Hi.

It seems that every time i run TGD and open ./MyView.cs, it loads everything, but renames a few menuItems to its old/default name.
In the TGD, i have trouble/impossible to open the contect menu to access the sub-menuitem to change name and such there.
But i have in VSCode renamed all references to "menuItem" to "bitMenuStopMusic" and the program compiles, next time i edit using TGD and save, this name is reverted (among 2 other items too)

Within the designer you can rename menu items by using Ctrl+R.

You can rename in VSCode manually but you will also need to update the Data property to the new name.

this.miBlahBlahBlah = new Terminal.Gui.MenuItem();
this.miBlahBlahBlah.Data = "miBlahBlahBlah";

Let me know if this does not resolve your problem.

The reason it happens is because the designer compiles the .Designer.cs code and then looks at the runtime instances Data property to determine the field name.

Thanks, with the Rename, i could change it in the TGD and it stuck to the name i wanted.
I probably should print out https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tznind/TerminalGuiDesigner/main/src/Keys.yaml on paper.
