I have a character named Eleanor in one of my stories.  In rereading bits to make sure I remain consistent on certain plot points, I noticed that I occasionally spelled her name as Eleanore instead.

The issue is, yWriter is highlighting both Eleanor and Eleanore as recognized names.  I double-checked the character entry, and there is nothing in any of the three fields that has an e on the end.  I don't have any other characters with Eleanore in their name either.

I did a bit of testing after Is started writing this, and it appears that I can add one character to the end of any name and it will still highlight it as a valid name.  Letters, numbers, and even special characters all work.  Adding a second character results in it not being highlighted.

I'm running the 7.1.6.3 alpha release, which I believe is the latest, but I confirmed this also happens in the 7.1.5.2 version I have installed.
