Normally attempting to name a unit 'switch' generates an invalid variable name error, as expected as it is used for the switch script command. However, capitalizing any letter in the name (e.g. Switch, SWITCH, etc) does not trigger the invalid variable name in the editor, and allows for Preview. Upon entering the mission, the GUI on the pause menu is overlaid with the Configure Menu.

Additional Information
It should not be possible to name a unit the name of a script command regardless whether the letters are upper or lower case.
Also, attempting to rename the unit after Preview will not be possible, the right side of the Edit Unit screen will not function, requiring a restart of the Editor.
