Property Inspector bug for keys with commas in the key name

[Niggemann, Bernd]

Hi Paul,

The problem with the comma in a customproperty name in the Properties Inspector (PI) arises because the PI uses a treeview to display the customproperties. More specifically the "hilitedElement" to retrieve the current selection and "hilitedElement" has the form:
"A comma delimited list of array keys."

Now you have a comma in your customproperty name and at that point the PI is confused as to what is the key and what is the value and fails to display both.

However I wonder if treeview or PI is to blame:

Custom Property Names
The name of a custom property must consist of a single word and may contain any combination of letters, digits, and underscores (_). The first character must be either a letter or an underscore.

The name of a custom property must consist of a single word and may contain any combination of letters, digits, and underscores (_). The first character must be either a letter or an underscore.

So I am afraid that treeview could not expect a comma in a customproperty name.

Kind regards
