Description

I hope I'm not misunderstanding here something, but to me it feels like a bug.

![grafik](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1249266/195086601-1878f963-da6e-490f-a0c3-7dab3f95942c.png)

A: I once had this class "Light" formerly called "+Light".
B: As its name was "+Light", then I created another class "!Prop_All" where the "+Light" class was a sub class in.
C: Here I brought the "+Light" class as "17__Light" class in.
After all this I just renamed the class "+Light" to just "Light" without the plus.
D: But since then these issues pop up in the log file, obviously demanding for the old "+Light" class (among others which have been renamed).

This seems buggy? What's the reason? If clear the log file, these entries keep showing up.

**Specifications:**
- OS: Windows 10
- Tiled Version: v1.9.2

Research direction

Reproduce the reported workflow in Tiled v1.9.2 on Windows 10: rename the "+Light" class, move it into "17__Light", rename it to "Light", and clear the log. Trace why references to the old class continue appearing; done means the behavior is explained or corrected and verified after clearing the log.
