Description of the bug

MMEX supports the in-place editing of an asset's name by clicking on an already highlighted row in the Assets list.

This functionality permits an asset to be renamed to have a blank name.

Reproduction

Is the bug reproducible?

• Always
• Randomly
• Happened only once

Reproduction steps:

In the Assets list:

1. Single-click on an asset to highlight the row.
2. Single-click again on the highlighted row. A small editing box is displayed with a space(?) character highlighted.
3. Press the Delete key to delete the space, then press Return.
4. Note that the asset name is now blank, which would not be a valid name if entered/edited via the Edit Asset dialog.

Expected result:

Either the in-place editing should be corrected so that it is not be possible to rename an asset to have a blank name.

Or, better still, the current in-place renaming of assets functionality should be removed because:

1. It is inconsistent with all other transaction editing within MMEX and appears to poorly implemented (for example, it does not pre-fill the editing box with the asset's current name).
2. It bypasses the validation checks that are made when editing an asset using the Edit Asset dialog.

Actual result:

See the video.

Additional Information

If in-place editing is ever provided in the future, it should be done directly in the asset/transaction list in a similar manner to which spreadsheet cells are edited - not by displaying a separate editing box.
