Possible bug in display names of saved trade configurations

I have a few saved trade configurations that I switch between in my trade window. A couple of these are just numbers like "1" and "1.5". When I switch to the "1.5" configuration, only the "1" is shown, making it impossible to distinguish from the actual "1" configuration. Could this be a bug where the name is getting converted to a number?

If I'm in the "1.5" configuration when I start the day, the entire 1.5 is shown. But if I switch to a different configuration and then go back to 1.5, only the "1" shows.

One more thing: if I'm in the "1.5" configuration, but only the "1" is showing, as soon as I click on the down arrow to show the configuration options, the 1.5 appears in its entirety again. It goes back to displaying just "1" when I select "1.5" from the list.

A small thing, but I thought maybe someone would want to know.

If it matter, I'm on version 2812, and I'm running the program using Wine in Ubuntu.

The names you give the configurations is how those files are stored on the drive. In general, a period is used by the Operating System to denote the name of the file from the file extension. Although it is not "forbidden" to use periods in other places in filenames (like it is to use a slash or back-slash), we wonder if this is what is causing you these issues.

Therefore, we recommend not using a period. An underscore (_) is a better option.
