In the following example, if you rename "count" in s1, it renames "count" in s2 as well (and s2's references to count).

struct s1 {
struct {
int count;
} embeddedStruct;
};

struct s2 {
struct {
int count;
} embeddedStructXXX;
};

void f()
{
s1 x1;
s2 x2;
x1.embeddedStruct.count++;
x2.embeddedStructXXX.count++;
}

This is very important to me as I have a large body of existing code to refactor that has this pattern in many places. Should I file a bug report?

build 1540; VS2005 C++

I just noticed Find References on this symbol fails in the same way -- it finds references that are to the variable of the same name in the other nested struct.

I am seeing the same effect here. Thank you for the clear description.
Rename calls Find References to get the list of references to rename, so if you find a bug in Find References then it will also effect rename.
