Are you saying that this was created when you clicked the identifier paste button? If so, the template must not be matching what you had in the paste buffer. Though I can't think what it would have been to do that.

Or was this the result of the search-and-replace? The function I described only happens when you press the identifier paste button. After that, the identifier is changeable by whatever other methods exist and it is up them or you, to make sure they are valid.

Or have I misunderstood what the problem is?
