Problem Calling Custom Card Props with the Same Name Using Switch

[Jacques Hausser]

Hi René,

I know ! Nobody will have problems with multi-letter names : the CPropIWouldLikeToCallY or estimatedSlopeOfTheRegression  would work fine, but how boring to type compared to the usual a ! And I didn't see anywhere in the docs a caveat against the use of one letter names...

I'm not sure why, but I'd guess the engine is using "y" for something. Since I always preface my custom properties with "c", I haven't run into this before, but I think you should probably bug-report it. It's an odd one.
