Funny Mids' bug

I'm not sure if this is a known issue or something for Mids, and its pretty minor, but I figured I'd post it here, since Mids' is used by all ATs for power design etc.

So, make a new character, and pick a villain AT, for example a Brute. In the field for the name, put something with the name "Hero" in it. Perhaps name your hero "Test Hero" or something. Select at least a power or two from primary and secondary. You dont have to do more than that. Save the name and accept the default name (which will be something like Test Hero - Brute (Battle Axe).mxd).

Once you've done that, do "File -> New" (and confirm losing the character, since you've saved it). Then do "File -> Open" and pick out good old Test Hero.

His name will still be "Test Hero" in the name field, but on the windows bar on the top of the application, Mids' planner will have judged him for his past sins and he will be "Test Villain".

I guess you can't escape your past. At least not yet.

P.S. There must be code somewhere that changes non-important text references from Hero to Villain for the Villain ATs. I haven't tested it to see if it works the other way, but I'm about to.

P.P.S. The inverse doesn't happen. A Defender named Test Villain will not, when re-loaded after a save, be called Test Hero in the title bar. That's a double standard right there, I tells ya!
