It's not a bug if the error message is
  "This component has already the class fmAINmENU"

since the IDE rightly disallows having two components with identical 
names (ignoring case). So, yes, the IDE does not check if you are just 
altering the case of the component name from what was originally 
entered. It won't let you do that. Hardly a big deal.

However, the English error message would be better "This component 
already has the class..." (which is English, rather than transliterated 
German).
