The title is the 'actual problem.  However if I would consider to drop the dialog and implement bug 137835 instead 

Ideally - in my perception - with F2 press to activate the edit field (if focus being in the sidebar), but kind remind me of F2 being used already for something

I still find such dialog pretty restrictive; you have no clue how all other objects are called.. So prefer them listed (which the navigator does)

I assume someone gonna point out that the sidebar being optional and having to accommodate all possible workflows.. (however still surprised how people manage to name objects with knowing of the whole list). And why would name those, if you don't peak at the list of present objects.. which can only be done with the navigator, I think..
Comment 3 Heiko Tietze 2020-12-15 09:24:04 UTC 
Confirmed. Writer still uses the old scheme with Shape1..n and those names are used in the name dialog. Draw received some love in respect to bug 34828 and besides the inconsistency in the Navigator interaction it now lost the string in the name dialog. Minor regression but still worth to fix.
Comment 4 Jim Raykowski 2020-12-17 06:54:27 UTC 
Automatic named shapes in Draw are not the same as user named shapes. AFAIK, the behavior of the Name dialog showing an empty name for shapes with automatic names has always been. Maybe the confusion is now the Navigator shows 'All shapes' as the default view instead of only 'Named shapes'.

Removing the regression-related keywords, Heiko if you know of a working version, please paste the version number/hash.
