Well, not a bug. But IMHO a serious limitation. In the extreme case, one should consult all XXE powerusers around the world before choosing a command name prefix, to be sure there are no clashes. If the unique global namespace limitation persists, then I would recommend, at least: - Make it explicit somewhere in the documentation, and - Issue a warning alert at startup or at document open if there are actually duplicated command names. Not a real solution, I think, but at least it would have saved me a full work day of tests before realizing why activating the same option in the current custom menu does different things at different times (I was comparing a couple of alternate variants of a common base configuration). Thanks for your quick answer.
