Deleting the name of a pad and re-setting it throws Exception

[sebescudie]

Hey,

Gamma 5.3-260 here.

If I erase the name of the pad and try to re-set it, this Exception is thrown :

NullReferenceException: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
    StackTrace:
        VL.HDE.PatchEditor.Editors.StringEditor { public virtual VL.Core.Viewer.IMouseEventHandler GetInputHandler(VL.Core.Viewer.VMouseEventArgs args) { ... } }

Repro steps :

• Create a pad from the Node browser
• Set its name to something
• Select the name, delete it
• Double-click again to set it : get Exception

I confirm.
Something strange is happening with pad names in recent previews. I’ve noticed that I can’t rename them in uncertain situations.

Same regression as reported in Naming a splicer throws error - #2 by Elias - should be fixed in latest (264).
