Hi William,

I think you are slightly confused. The name is longer than the short  
name and shorter than the long name. The name includes the object type:

field "Name"
button "Name"

while the short name only returns the name itself

Name

and the long name returns the exact location of the object

field "Name" of group "Group Name" of card "Card Name" of stack "Stack  
Name" of stack "/Users/User/Folder/Stack.rev"

I can't find any inconsistencies here.
