-lables renaming-
I often comment out text which I don't think I need, but don't want to
delete. To do this I select the text, including any figures or sections and
labels, and click the note button.

If I decide I want the text and desolve the note then LyX thinks that it has
found a duplicate of the labels and renames them. This problem also occurs
of course if I just copy and past some of the commented out text back into
my main text again.

Perhaps LyX should *ask* whether it should change the label and even give
the option for the user to create an alternative name themselves?

That would be too cumbersome if you cut&paste a text with lots of labels. But I agree that LyX should probably ask whether you want to rename duplicate labels as soon as it detects one; only one question and one answer valid for all duplicate labels. Could you please put that in bugzilla?

 Otherwise
I would suggest that LyX does not recognise a commented out label, which is
probably best because a user might be tempted to link to it resulting in a
broken reference in their pdf.
That's also a sensible request, bugzilla please :-)
