Description
There are two issues on illegal names in OMEdit:
1) Drag new component to Diagram View:
Create a new model and switch to the Diagram view. Drag any components (from Modelica.Blocks.Sources, for example) into the new model. A dialog "Enter Component Name" pops up: I am then allowed to enter illegal names, e.g.,
33(illegal numbers in the beginning of the class names)öö(illegal German umlaut)s-d#(illegal dash, illegal #)a.b(illegal dot)c,d(illegal semicolon)
The components with the illegal instance names are not shown in the Text View, but are always displayed in the Diagram View.
2) Renaming of class names
In an existing model make a right click and pick "Attributes" to change the name of an instance. Then, similarly to 1), illegal class names can be entered in the "Name" field. The illegal names are shown both in the Text and Diagram View.
This ticket seems to be related with #4186.

Even worse the wrong instance names may cause that a package or model cannot not be loaded again after unloading it in OMEdit.

This issue applies to
It is a typical error of students to pick wrong names for classes and instances. So when ever the GUI can help avoiding such issues it shall be done. Therefore, I would highly appreciate it if this issue could be fixed for the upcoming OM version 1.12.
