Well, unfortunate in the sense that it can be pretty easily interpreted to be a bug.. :)

The other possible thing to do for that would be to go through and mark every single numeric input for whether it was able to take negative numbers or not, and then it would be possible to use that single minus sign syntax for relative adjustment on the fields that only took positive numbers.

The thing I don't like about that is having different syntax work for different fields, in some sense it is more simple to have only one syntax that works in all situations.

Yup, that's because I made a kind of general purpose "edit the name of something" dialog which may be useful to be re-used in other situations in the future where something needs to let you edit a name label.

A dialog is a little more generally re-usable than a flyout since a flyout doesn't necessarily fit with some things like a multi-stage script.
