Global content block forces rename on upgrade to CMSMS1.11.7

Has anyone else experienced this? I have many GCBs, and quite a few of them are two words, with a "_" between them, such as sidebar_home, event_list, etc.

I notice when I am editing these GCBs after upgrading to 1.11.7, CMSMS says the name is invalid and can only contain characters or letters. So I have to rename those GCBs to, e.g., sidebarhome and eventlist. Cumbersome and annoying.

Is this an anomaly or something built into the latest CMSMS? And if the latter, why?

I just tested creating, and editing a GCB with an underscore in the name in 1.11.7
no issues.

the dash (minus sign) is an invalid character though.

Thanks. Cal Guy. There is some other weirdness going on in this site. I went into PHPMyAdmin to backup the SQL and noticed a whole bunch of entries with prefixes such as 01_, 001_, cms_, idyl_, etc.

I backed it up and peeked at the config.php file which is using the prefix "01_" so once I had a backup, I deleted all the other tables with goofy prefixes.

Maybe that shook something loose as far as some site misbehaviors. I already changed the GCBs that it complained about, so right now things are calm. (She said, hopefully!)
