Bug #20180	Table editor Column details "name" should be a uneditable text field

Description:
In the table editor, changes to the Name: field in the column details have no effect.  Ie. you cannot update the column name by changing the associated edit box you have to change it in the main area above.

I repeatedly tried to change the name in the details to effect a column name change.   If changes to the field have no effect why is it editable?

How to repeat:
Edit an existing table
Click on a column,
Try and change the column name from the bottom column details tab.

Suggested fix:
Change the column details version of the column name to an uneditable text field or allow changes to the column name by adjusting that edit box.

Synopsis meant to say uneditable text field
