Bug Description

After I duplicated a symbol in libedit, the symbol and all ALIASES show up with "_Copy" after their name in the left-side pane. I then renamed the ALIASes *before* I renamed the root symbol. After the ALIASes are renamed the left-side pane does not refresh to remove the "_Copy".

In this screenshots I've copied the "IRM-05-3.3" symbol which has many ALIASES after "IRM-05-". As you can see, I've renamed the IRM-10 symbol and its ALIASES but the "_Copy" suffix remains in the left-side pane.

Once I rename the symbol to "IRM-10-3.3" the left-side pane refreshes and all the ALIAS names are corrected.
