Inconsistent naming when creating controls using ctrl+drag

Using LabVIEW 2021 (32-bit)

 

When creating a new control using "ctrl+drag" the control should get a number added to it, or incremented if there is already a space followed by a number at the end. However, I found (by accident) that if the control starts with a space, the numbers at the end are tacked on without a space a sometimes, which messes up the incrementing. I'll use underscores for spaces below.

 

Names of copied controls with starting control named "Numeric":

Numeric_2

Numeric_3

Numeric_4

 

Names of copied controls with starting control named "_Numeric":

_Numeric_2

_Numeric3

_Numeric3_2

_Numeric33

 

Maybe this shouldn't be fixed, because it alerted me to the fact that I had accidentally put a space at the beginning of the name, but I think it's still a bug 🙂

(I think we can almost guess how the underlying code looks like 😄 )
