Code Providers - The “Add to Interface” provider links different methods into one group if the previous rename operation is not confirmed

created 5 years ago

While isn't just the add interface function that this is an issue for, but it is definitely a problem for it, and the easiest one to demonstrate. If a method is added to an interface using the right click - Add to Interface method, and then this is repeated for a different method without accepting the previous operations 'rename' option, then the two methods become linked, and changing the method of the second also changes the first, and any references between them.

This has caused mass renaming events throughout my code, and if you don't catch it at the time can mean a lot of hunting down errors.

Refer to video.

The correct behaviour would be for the second operation to complete the first prior to commencing.
