2) When trying to delete text in the edit box, the last character
sticks (can't be deleted).

well that would seem to be because your code thinks a blank prefix is
illegal, I believe changing

 -    if ( !ScDocument::ValidTabName( aSheetPrefix ) )
+    if ( !aSheetPrefix.isEmpty() && !ScDocument::ValidTabName( aSheetPrefix
) )
    {
        // Revert to last good Prefix
        pEdit->SetText( maOldPrefixValue );
    }

will fix that


Agggh, your right :)

If it was up to me I would go for the visual bell. Any thoughts on this?

actually thinking about it some more I don't find it unnatural to have the
whole ( reverted ) prefix selected after entering an illegal character ( I
think this is a technique used elsewhere anyway ) In addition to providing a
cue that you have typed something bad this approach has the added advantage
of solving the cursor problem for you too ;-)

e.g.

        // Revert to last good Prefix
        Selection aSel( 0,  maOldPrefixValue.getLength() );
        pEdit->SetText( maOldPrefixValue, aSel );

Not sure what others think about above but if I hear no real negative
reaction then I'd be inclined to push this

p.s. of course you can use the 'Selection'
  Selection aSel( maOldPrefixValue.getLength(),
maOldPrefixValue.getLength() )

to trick SetText to display the cursor at the end. This is a bit hacky, the
alternative is you will probably need to modify the cursor position
directly, that is, unless there is some existing public method on Edit (
which there might be but I didn't see in the myriad of 'Edit' methods )

Yes I vote for pushing this as you suggested. It is a cheap solution
for now, and done elsewhere in the code, so at least we are consistent
then.

Saw the ideas from Markus and Stefan regarding the range name dialog:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboard/Calc_Range_Names

A mode-less window (i.e balloon) would be an option for a future
improvement. But I guess we leave that for now until we have a
consensus on going down that route.

Noel: can you push the patch with your changes  or do you want me to tweek it?
