This has been a problem for a while. It occurs when the object’s name contains a number.

Make me wonder if the project thinks the object got deleted when it got moved, so it increased the number. It doesn’t make sense either way.

This is actually how dragging works (deletes something and re-adds it) so it might be the cause. It definitely shouldn’t increase the number like that.

I just did some testing.

I added a text object, deleted it, then added it again (which added it as “Text 2”)

When I tried to rename it to “Text”, even though there were no other objects (“Text” was deleted prior) with that name, it still said I already used it (the original “Text” object might be still existent in the project’s data (via the non-editor), so that may be why I wasn’t able to use that name again).

I don’t think this is how it should work. Even if it’s deleted from the list of objects in the scene and added back to the list, the instance of the object should still exist at least.
