    MacOS Sequoia 15.5 on an iMac M1
    Illustrator 29.5.1

    When I paste text into an artboard's name in the Artboard Panel, and press RETURN/ENTER, the name appears correctly in the Artboard Panel, but does not update on the actual artboard title on the main screen. Thinking it was ok because the panel displayed it correctly, I exported the artboards. All resulting files had "artboard 1, artboard 2, etc". I saved the file and reopened. All of the names were gone from the Artboard Panel.

    Temporary workaround: If I paste text into the Artboard Panel and press RETURN, it won't update on the actual board, but as long as I double-click the name again in the panel, type anything manually, and press RETURN, it will update and export correctly.

    When pasting into the artboard name in the top control panel, it works fine. It's only in the Artboards Panel. I have over 100 artboards in this file and the names are very long, so that's the most efficient place to enter them all.

    This is reproducible. As long as I am pasting text into the name, it will not update elsewhere including exporting unless I go back into the name and edit it further.

    I think it started happening within the last few months.
