DA - renaming a Race doesn't rename their fleets

from GalCiv2 Forums
I renamed the Yor race and picked them as my race. If I click on one of my ships it correctly identifies it as belonging to me. If I create a fleet from several ships and mouse-over it then it calls the fleet "Yor Fleet 1035". It doesn't replace the original race name for fleets.

If you manually look in the new race's .customracexml file (for DA) or .raceconfig file (for DL), are there still references to Yor in it?

I am including a snippet of the .customracexml file. The ShortEmpireName and DialogTag entries are probably the culprits. Even though the Description field contains "Yor" I doubt that it has anything to do with naming of fleets. I didn't bother to change the description since I wasn't saving the race to be reused later.
