[severity:It bothers me. A fix would be nice]

  1. Select a variable, hit F2 to rename.
  2. Enter new name and check the preview changes option.
  3. When the Preview Changes - Rename dialog box appears
    select one of the entries to see it's pending change in the bottom pane title Preview Code Changes.
  4. In that preview pane select some text and attempt to change it.

Expected Result: Either nothing (cannot change preview) or text is changed and change is confirmed with the Apply button.
Actual Result: Another Preview Changes window is spawned higher in the z-order than the original (it overlaps and obscures the original). The additional Preview Changes window does not contain the additional change attempted that was in addition to the rename, and it can be closed. The original Preview Changes Window cannot be closed and it cannot lose focus.
