I'm hoping it's just an IDE issue, but unless I misunderstand what you 
describe shouldn't be possible without a serious issue in the engine:

Imagine setting the rect of an object, or its text, or anything else, 
and having those become custom props rather than setting the built-in props.

As part of a non-default property set, names of built-in object 
properties should be acceptable.

But in the default property set, the results could range from confusing 
to disastrous, depending on the context.  Indeed, the engine should 
never allow it, should it?

If you stumble across a recipe please pass it along. This one is murky, 
and concerning....
