Editing variables changes their name

I had 4 variables with the names  

  • secret
  • secret-end
  • open-secret
  • open-secret-end
    • I did edit the two starting with open* Now I have these 4 variables:  
  • secret end
  • secret-end-tillerz
  • secret-tillerz
  • tillerz
    • Something is broken here, the names are now a total mixup of the original name and the fragment-id. Here you can see the names and their fragment-ids as listed in the UI:   https://i.gyazo.com/bcec9033c659628ef8ca611ba7738557.png Here you can see the frame

    Steps to Reproduce

    • Create a variable, possibly type fragment.
    • Edit it again.
    • Check the name of the variable.

    Uh. Not sure it's completely fixed. I can see that it adds the name when I edit those in the list that have now an empty name instead of just "tillerz": https://i.gyazo.com/e97b304954e39658b98809798d7be1c0.png But when I reload the page and open the list again, the names are empty again.

    Right now, they show like this: https://i.gyazo.com/53d0b4cb805d4224bee470c70376927a.png - when I then edit them, the name shows up. But reloading the page and going back to the list, the name is missing again.
