I just tried the same thing using versions 6.6.2 and 5.0.2 with the same result so I am guessing that I am missing something given this is how it has worked for a long time. Apparently the combination of “name” with the “focusedObject” doesn’t do what I would intuitively think. It still seems odd that you end up with references to different objects however. At a minimum you would think it should throw an error at compile time if this is not allowed.
