Description

When adding a TMenuItem to a TPopupMenu or a TMainMenu and you set the caption to something like Tab Order, the TMenuItem caption name gets set to abOrder1 instead of TabOrder1.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a new VCL Forms app with the Delphi for Win32 personality
2. Drop a TMainMenu on the form and double click it to open the menu designer
3. Enter "Tab Order" as the caption of a new menu item

exp: the Name property of the menu item should be "TabOrder1"
act: the Name property is "abOrder1"

Workarounds

Don't start a TMenuItem with a capital T or manually change the name after you've created the menu item.

Bizarre and reproducible with update #2, also!

Maybe something to do with VCL class naming conventions vs. class instance naming, so possibly 'as designed'...?

NOT fixed in update #2, despite the "Closed" status.

I entered new steps to emphasize the expected versus actual behaviour. Hopefully QA can reproduce now.
