Hi

New to java, but seasoned in other languages like C++.  Anyway, first time
using Netbeans for java.

When using the gui designer to place a text component in a dialog, I get a
default "JTextField1" name for it from the gui designer.  so far, so good.
But when I rename it to something else like "Username" in the "name" field,
the change is not made in the source.  However, when I right click the
JTextField component and do "change variable name", it changes the source
code *and* name field correctly.  Is this a bug in the IDE or am I
misinterpreting the use of the "name" field in the properties box?

No big deal ... I just need to use the right-click method to change the
name, but I would like to verify this behavior is not just my install of it,
or anything else I might be overlooking about the behavior of the gui
developer.  TIA
