I have cards named: condition1, condition2, etc. and want (owing no

Condition1, Condition2, etc. Yes, I merely want to capitalize the names.
However, when I change the little "c" to a big "C" it accepts it in the
property inspector window, but doesn't change it in the application browser
(even after clicking the little "refresh" icon at the bottom), nor does the
change show up if I type "put the name of this card" in the message box.
In fact, typing "set the name of this card to "Condition 1" doesn't do it
either. But,... If I type a space before the big "C" (i.e., " Condition
1") in the inspector window, then the change takes. I can then delete the
space, and I get "Condition 1" in the application browser and the message
box. Weird! Is this some kind of (admittedly trivial) bug? I can't
find anything about this.

I have a feeling that this is something to do with the fact that
Livecode doesn't distinguish between upper
and lower case letters (in English at least); after all, the thing
doesn't seem to mind if I type:
on mouseUp
or
ON MOUSEUP
or, for that matter:
oN MoUseuP
certainly for daft types like me (who do things such as forgetting one
has left the caps-lock down)
this is jolly convenient; however, like everything else, it does have
its downside as you are discovering.
I really don't know whether it might not be a bad idea for Livecode to
move to strict adherence to
capitalization; but, on balance, I think it would; especially if the
debugger would trap my use of the
wrong case.
