Renaming variable with Unicode glyph displays weirdly

[brianharvey]

1. Make a global variable foo.
2. Right-click it, select Rename all.
3. Leftarrow to get to the left end of the name in the dialog.
4. Insert Upper Right Pencil (U+2710) then space.
5. Click OK.
   (At this point the orange blob disappears altogether, but the dialog is still open.)
6. Either click OK again, which gives an error message, or click Cancel.

The variable reappears, with its new name, when you either switch to another palette and back or rename another variable. (I.e., it's only the most recently renamed one that's missing.)

(And it doesn't actually do the rename-all bit; you have to do that manually.)

Hi Brian (@brianharvey )
I can't reproduce this. I've tested it with Firefox and Chromium, current version and beta6. No problems

I've inserted that U+2710 pencil copying it from my clipboard (fine) and also typing directly U+2710 (in Linux with [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[U]). Both methods fine.

We know that refactoring variables has issues. There must be a bunch of open issues about this already. We'll eventually get around to fixing it. I kinda regret that feature...

@jguille2 I did it from the MacOS Unicode-and-emoji window, in Chrome.
